At present, there are apps for everything. Whether it is about fitness, organizing yourself, horoscope, mobile optimization, games or regular health monitoring, apps are available for everything. However, recently it was revealed that there are many apps on the Google Play Store that were breaking into your Facebook login credentials. In such a situation, your responsibility increases a lot and you must know how to keep yourself away from these fake apps. That's why it is important that you know the difference between real and fake apps. This will save you from trouble in future.
Here is how you can differentiate between real and fake apps.
See spelling
The basic difference between a real and a fake app is spelling. They either exaggerate a word in the spelling or make small changes in the beginning, end or middle of the name of the spelling. So you need to recognize it.
Check ratings and downloads
Check reviews, ratings and downloads of apps that you are going to download from Google Play Store.
Publish date
Apart from this, you should also pay attention to the publish date of the app. If this is a new app from a well-known company, then its publish date should also be new.
Description and reviews
Pay attention to the description of the apps. With this, you will get all the information about the app. After this, you should also read the app's reviews.
Check app website in a browser
One can visit the official website of the app using a web browser and look for the option 'Get Our App', which will take you to the authentic app.
