Battery life

Your phone is like a small computer that processes tons of information and apps at lightning-fast speed. Depending on what you use, that can take a lot of power.

When your phone is stationary, not charging or not in use for a period of time, unnecessary background processes are shut down to optimize battery life.

Here are a few tips:

•

To help prevent spyware, phishing, or viruses, use apps from trusted sites, like Google Play.

•

In Google Play, check the app’s ratings and comments before installing.

•

If you doubt the safety of an app, don’t install it.

•

Apps use up memory, data, battery, and processing power—some more than others. If you’re not happy with how much memory, data, battery or processing power it’s using, uninstall it.

•

Monitor children’s access to apps to help prevent exposure to inappropriate content.

•

Certain apps may not provide completely accurate information. Take care, especially when it comes to personal health.

You will only be asked for permissions when you use a feature in an app, instead of all at once when you install the app.
