DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING AN APP
As you already know, an app is a software program. Hence, to use any app, you need to first
install it on your mobile device. As we have already learnt, the Google's Play Store and Apple's
App Store are the most commonly used app stores. Among these two, Google's Play Store is
more popular due to the huge market of Android devices. So we are taking an example of an
Android device to install an app from the Google's Play Store.
To download and install an app on an Android device, follow these steps:
Step 1 Tap on the Play Store icon on your Android
mobile. The home screen of the Google Play
Store appears.
Step 2 Tap on the Search button.
Step 3 Type the name of the app or related keyword in
the Search for apps & games box at the top.
In our case, we have typed learning English
grammar as keywords. A list of related apps
appears.
Step 4 Tap on the app you want to install. In our case, we
have tapped Learn English Grammar app. The
Opening Google Play Store
App info screen appears.
Step 5 Tap on the Install button.
The downloading of the app will start.
When the downloading is completed, the
installation process will start automatically.
Within few seconds, your app will be installed
on your mobile and the Uninstall and Open
buttons will appear on the screen.
Step 6 Tap on the Open button to use the
app. In case you want to uninstall
the app, then tap on the Uninstall
button.
