Choose Carefully
Apps are great. There's something for
everyone. Play, communicate, work, or
have fun. But remember, choose your
apps carefully. Here are a few tips:
•To help prevent spyware, phishing, or
viruses from affecting your phone or
privacy, use apps from trusted sites,
like Play Store.
•In Play Store, check the apps’ ratings
and comments before installing.

17Apps
•If you doubt the safety of an app, don't
install it.
•Like all apps, downloaded apps will use
up memory, data, battery, and
processing power—some more than
others. For example, a simple battery
level widget will use less than a
streaming music player app. After
installing an app, if you're not happy
with how much memory, data, battery
or processing power it's using, uninstall
it. You can always install it again later.
•Just like web browsing, you may want to
monitor childrens’ 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.
Update Your Phone
You can use your phone or computer to
check, download, and install phone
software updates:
•Using your phone:
If your phone notifies you about an
update, follow the instructions to
download and install it.
To manually check for updates,
touch Apps > Settings > About
phone > System updates.
Your phone downloads any updates
over your mobile network. Remember,
these updates can be quite large
(25MB or more) and may not be
available in all countries. If you don’t
have an unlimited data plan, or mobile
network updates are not available in
your country, you can update using a
computer.

•Using your computer:
On your computer, go to
www.motorola.com/support and
check the “Software” links. If an update
is available, just follow the installation
instructions.
