About Course
Apps add useful features to your phone or tablet – from banking and the NHS App to bus times and video calls. But fake and harmful apps exist. This course explains how to download apps safely from the official stores, the checks to make before you tap Install, how to manage permissions and subscriptions, and why you should never install an app because a caller tells you to.
