Google reveals how to delete dangerous bank-raiding app that steals your money – you’ll need to act fast

GOOGLE has important advice for anyone needing to quickly delete an app.

If you spot a suspicious app on your phone the best thing to do is delete it right away.

Then, contact your bank if you’re worried about suspicious charges from the app.

If you downloaded it from the Play Store, Google says to open the Play Store app.

Next, click the Profile icon in the top right.

Then, click Manage apps & devices and Manage.

Find the name of the app you want to delete and click Uninstall.

If you delete an app you’ve paid for by mistake then don’t panic.

Google says: “If you delete a Play app, your purchases don’t go away.

“You can add the app back to your phone later.”

You may also want to delete apps that aren’t malicious if you’re having speed or storage issues.

A security expert recently told The U.S. Sun about apps he deletes and an easy trick to only installing the best.

Erich Kron, a security awareness advocate at specialist firm KnowBe4 explained his app-choosing process.

When asked about bad apps, Kron said: “There are none specifically that I refuse to have on my devices, however, I’m very picky about what I do allow.”

Kron thinks two things before he downloads any app: What is the value of the app, and what is its purpose?

If the answer to either of those isn’t positive you should probably avoid the content.

Kron also had another piece of advice that could declutter your phone and avoid battery-draining apps.

He said: “Once I’m done using an app, I uninstall them as well.”

This can help keep redundant apps off your phone.
