Practical exercise

Install and uninstall one app safely

Most Pakistani phones have one or two apps that should not be there, installed by accident, by a cousin, or by a fake link in WhatsApp. Today you will learn the safe way to install an app from the official store, the safe way to check what permissions it asks for, and the right way to remove an app you no longer want. This is a small skill that protects you for life.

Install and uninstall one app safely

Stretch

Open Settings, then Storage, on your phone. Find the list of all apps sorted by size. Look at the top three biggest apps. Are you using them weekly. If not, uninstall the biggest one you do not need. You may free up two or three gigabytes in five minutes.
