When installing apps from many major media companies, you should be aware they may be mining your data in the background on your device (such as relaying your location, usage, and other telemetry data to the app company, which in turn sells it to advertisers).
With that in mind, it’s always a good idea to review the apps you have installed on your device, and weigh those against your actual current usage. In many cases, you may be able to get by with simply replacing many website apps with a similar home page shortcut.
This will also save space on your phone or tablet by not slowing it down with an overload apps. You can can also improve dramatically improve your device’s battery life without as many apps using background processes and occupying device resources.
