Manage & restore apps

Find it: > Market > My apps

There are lots of apps available and many are free. So you might find that you have downloaded and installed lots of apps on your phone. That’s fine, but you may want to uninstall apps that you no longer use.

To uninstall touch an app in the list, and then touch

Uninstall.

To restore an app, touch the app in the list. The My apps list shows previously installed apps.

For other app management features including clearing

app data and cache, touch Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications, then touch an app in the list.

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 Market.

In Market, check the apps’ 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.

Apps for all
