How to Install an App Safely
Use the official app store or software publisher’s own website, and pause when an installer asks for permissions you do not understand.
A simple explanation
Lookalike ads and download pages can imitate trusted software. Check the publisher name and the app’s purpose before installing.
Step-by-step checks
- Search for the app inside the official store on your phone, or navigate to the publisher’s known website yourself.
- Check the developer or publisher name, app description and requested permissions.
- Review the permission prompt and decline access that does not make sense for the app’s purpose.
- On a computer, follow the publisher’s normal installer and read each screen before continuing.
Troubleshooting notes
Do not install software advertised by a pop-up claiming your device is infected.
