- Avoid auto-payments by canceling unwanted subscriptions.
Tech Tips: Today most people consider Google Play Store only as a means to download apps. But it is not like that at all. Actually, along with downloading apps in Google Play Store, there are many such features which increase the security of your smartphone. Apart from this, you can also save your money by turning on these features. Let us know such features of Play Store which every Android user should know.
Turn off Activity Tracking
If you feel that Google is showing you ads based on your online activity, then you can also turn this thing off. This will maintain your privacy and less personalized ads will be visible. For this you have to go to the Data & Privacy settings of Google Account. After this turn off Ad Personalization. If necessary, you can also disable Web & App Activity.
Play Protect will protect you from dangerous apps
Let us tell you that Play Protect is an inbuilt security feature of Google which scams the apps present in your phone from time to time. With the help of this feature, you get alert about virus or malware present in the apps. Besides, this feature protects you from more dangerous apps and also advises you to delete them. To turn on this feature, open Google Play Store. After this tap on your profile photo. Go to Play Protect here. Enable Scan apps with Play Protect. With this your phone will be more secure than before.
Delete remaining data from these apps
It is often seen that whenever you uninstall an app, some data of that app remains stored in the phone. Due to this, garbage gets accumulated in the phone. That is why after uninstalling any app, its remaining data should also be deleted. To do this, you will have to go to the settings of Play Store and Google Account and manage the storage by deleting the data of old and unused apps. With this, your account will also remain clean and useless data will not accumulate.
Cancel useless subscriptions
Many times we take a free trial of an app or buy a subscription and later forget it. In such a situation, money keeps getting deducted from your account every month or year. To check it, open Play Store. Tap the profile icon. Go to Payments & Subscriptions. Open Subscriptions. Now here, immediately cancel the services which you are not using. This can avoid unwanted auto-payment.
