Avoid the clutches of fake apps by adopting 5 ways

 After the incidents of data theft, everyone has become alert to their personal mobile data. Now while downloading a third-party app, we are in the dilemma whether to download the app or not. Let us know some important things that will end our dilemma. While downloading any third-party app, if we take care of common things, then we will be able to avoid the dangers of third party app.

1. Pay special attention to the name of the app

While downloading any application, pay special attention to the name of that app. It is mostly seen that fake app is named after copying the name of a popular app. This increases the chances of downloading such an app. Note the spelling of Ann's name, the colour and design of the app's logo, sometimes there is a very slight difference between the fake app and the original app's design.

2. Read the name of the developer

More than one app with the same name will be found on the Google Store. In this case, if you want to download the app, there is a big dilemma as to which application is real. To do this, go to the app's description and read the developer's name carefully. Many developers who create fake apps even copy the name of the developer of the real app. So make sure there is no special sign or letter next to the developer's name. Also, there should be no gap between the letters. If so, it is possible that the developer who created the fake app did it to deceive the users.

3. Pay attention to reviews and ratings

All applications on the Play Store have a public feedback system, meaning that ordinary users can give their feedback on that app. Whenever you want to download a new app, read the review carefully first. Download the app only if the reviews are positive.

4. Use antivirus

Use a reliable antivirus to keep your phone safe from the threat of any fake app. The phone will warn you when you download that app if it has antivirus.

5. Stay away from third-party app stores

Whenever you need to download an app, avoid downloading it from any third-party app store. If you are an Android user, download the app from the Google Play Store itself, as all the apps are scrutinized there.
