Quick Start Guide

Apps
from Google
Play
are always
verified
by
Google
to protect your
data and your device from harm. By default, your device
doesn’t
allow
the installation of apps from sources other than
Google
Play.
If
you choose to
allow
the installation of apps from other
sources,
you’re
more likely to end up with
harmful
apps on your device.
The Verify Apps
feature
protects
you by
continually
checking for
apps
that may harm your device, steal your personal information, or
perform
other
malicious
actions
–
no matter where they come from.
Regular
updates to your Android software help ensure that your
device can identify and warn you about apps that are known to be
dangerous. Be
sure
to accept such updates whenever you’re notified
of them.

against harmful apps.
Android
Device
Manager
If
you
lose
your phone or tablet, the
Android
Device Manager can
help you
find
its approximate location, make it ring, lock it, or erase
its
data.
These options
are turned on by default. To view or change them,
open Settings
>
Personal
>
Google
> Security.
If
you
lose
your device, go to Android Device
Manager
and follow the
instructions.
Backup &
reset
If
you want to
change
the Google Account that your device backs up
to, you can change that in
Settings >
Personal
> Backup &
reset.
If
you need to reinstall an app, your
device
can automatically
restore
