“Downloads” on page 48.
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
the Google Play Store app.
•In the Google Play Store app, check the
app’s ratings and comments before
installing.
•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.
Show, Remove & Restore Apps
To show the app list, from your home
screen touch Apps , then flick left to

then touch Disable or Uninstall in the
top right (if available).
Disable removes the app from your
Apps list—to Enable it, reopen this
window and touch Enable (disabled
apps are at the bottom of this window).
If an app locks up your phone as soon as
you turn it on, restart in Safe Mode: Turn
off your phone, then turn it back
on—when you see the “Motorola” logo
during power-up, press and hold both
volume keys until you see the home
screen, with Safe Mode in the lower left.
Then, try removing the app.
•Reinstall apps: To reinstall apps from
the Google Play™ Store, touch Apps
>Play Store > Menu > My apps. The
apps you downloaded are listed and
