Jordan, I do not like cleanup apps on an Android phone or tablet. They work but want you to install a lot of junk programs. Google Play Store Android 6.0 and higher comes with a Settings icon. Inside the Icon is a section called Device Management. DM has tools that you can use to clean your device.

Android devices need security protection. You can use a free version from one of the major companies.

 

Verizon gives customers McAfee mobile with service. Other providers may give do the same. 


@Nuttmeg I have seen security apps, it seems they are free for a trial run but then they charge you monthly, am I right in thinking that?

Re: Do I Really Need Security Protection

I have been using free applications on my devices for years and if they ask me to take more protection that I have to pay for I click on no thanks and go on. I never had any bloatware on these free virus protection application's no junk that has been added or anything. I am very happy with it cause it costs me nada.Woman Very Happy
