In-app purchases and advertising: Don’t be surprised!
Be careful with both free and paid apps, as they can hide in-app purchases and advertising. This is particularly significant when downloading games for children. To avoid unexpected problems, please follow the advice below:
App permissions: Read the fine print!

Before granting access, consider if an app truly needs it—why would an alarm clock need your contacts, or a flashlight your location?
