Restoring apps from Google Play
Upgraded to a new phone, replaced a lost one, or performed a factory reset? Restore
apps that you previously downloaded.
1. Open the Play Store app.
2. Tap > My apps.
3. Swipe to the All tab, and then tap the app you want to restore.
4. Install the app.
For more details, refer to the Google Play help.
Downloading apps from the web
You can download apps directly from websites.
Apps downloaded from websites can be from unknown sources. To help protect
HTC One max and your personal data, we strongly recommend that you only
download from websites you trust.
1. Open the browser, and then go to the website where you can download the app
you want.
2. Follow the website's download instructions for the app.
Before you can install the downloaded app, make sure that you've set HTC One max
to allow installation of third-party apps in Settings > Security > Unknown sources.
After installing the app, make sure to go back to Settings > Security and clear the
Unknown sources option. This can help protect your phone from installing insecure
apps from the Web.
Uninstalling an app
If you no longer need an app that you've downloaded and installed, you can easily
uninstall it.
Most of the preloaded apps cannot be uninstalled.
From the All Apps screen, press and hold the app you want to remove, and then drag
it to Uninstall.
If you purchased an app in Play Store, you can uninstall it for a refund within a
limited time. To know more about the refund policy for paid apps, refer to the
Google Play help.
