2. Only install apps from reliable stores

Hackers can use apps having viruses to infect your smartphone and steal your data. They even hack to your contacts to spam those people and infect their devices. You can prevent these things by installing apps from the trusted stores like Google Play, Apple iTunes, Microsoft’s Windows Store or Amazon Appstore. However, the app from those stores is not 100% safe. So make sure that you check reviews and ratings and read the app’s privacy policy carefully. You need to know what information the app will get from your phone and what will it do with them.
