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 an app is using, uninstall it.
Monitor children’s access to apps to help prevent exposure
to inappropriate content.
Certain apps may not provide completely accurate

why do we yawn
https://www.google.com
Mobile-friendly - May 12, 2014 - Well, both sleep
deprivation and exhaustion are known to increase brain temperature, so while it’s true that we yawn to combat lack of sleep, yawns don’t make us ‘more awake’ but instead help keep our brains
Why do we yawn? - The Independent
www.independent.co.uk › News › Science
We yawn when we’re sleepy or bored or if we see someone else yawn. Some people also yawn when they’re anticipating something important and when they’re stressed. Many think it’s because the brain lacks oxygen, but according to a new study, the thing most of these instances have in common is thermoregulation.
