  • Always download apps from first-party sources or official app stores. By default Android will not allow for apps to be downloaded from any source other than the Google Play store; unless you know what you’re doing you should not change this setting.
  • Always check the permissions an app asks for before granting it. If it’s too excessive, or if it places you in doubt, refuse.
