How to Stop Unwanted Apps From Being Installed Automatically On Your Android Device
As we are all aware that
Android being an open source platform has many benefits, such as customization
and unlimited number of apps. But most of us don't think about the
disadvantages of it. There can be many malware installed on your device right
now and the user might not be aware of it. One of the major problems which can
be seen right now is that unwanted apps are getting downloaded automatically on
your smartphone, without a user's permission. Well Folks, do not worry, here
are some tips and trick on how to stop them from getting installed
automatically on your device. Do take a look and keep your smartphone safe and
in good hands
Check the security settings: Users need to go to Settings>Security>Unknown sources and uncheck allow installation of apps from (unknown sources). Some times unwanted apps do get installed if the user is trying to install apps from the web or any other source which leads to advertisements and unwanted apps.
Uncheck Automatic Updates: In Google Play Store, tap on the 3 lines option present at left hand side top corner and select settings. Uncheck automatic updates.
New Apps Might Contain Adware: Sometimes the apps we download contains adwares which in returns gets other unwanted apps installed onto your device without your permission and brings pop up advertisements too. So just uninstall the most recently downloaded apps and hopefully this problem will be solved.
Change Google password: We would recommend this process as a user can get to know which app or the source of this problem. A user need to create a new password for his/her Goole account, preferably from their computer. A restart is needed on your device, once the restart is done you will be asked to enter your password once again and your problem will be solved.
Delete Rogue Apps: Rogue apps are basically apps that access your data and misuse it. They basically get downloaded on their own and if a user isn't aware of its presence then it can harm your smartphone too. So basicaly a rogue app can be deleted going into Settings>apps> All. If you can see it then delete it immediately
Don’t Click On
Advertisements: Please do not click on advertisements or any other sort of
pop-ups. They are dangerous and harmfull. Pop-ups, especially bring malware to
your device and even installs unwanted apps too.
