Helpful apps for your smart device
Apps — short for applications — are programs you can use on smartphones and other internet-connected devices. Some are for fun or staying in touch, while others help with everyday tasks by providing useful information, shopping, or services. With millions of apps available, it can be hard to know where to start.
This translated summary sheet includes information on how to download, install and use apps, choose the right ones for your needs, manage notifications, and stay safe online. It complements the free online safety presentations offered by the Australian eSafety Commissioner: https://beconnected.esafety.gov.au/online-safety-presentations(opens in a new window)
