LG App Preferences

If you want to install an app on your LG smartphone via the Google Play Store, it will automatically download it via the mobile data if no WLAN is in range.

We can instruct the LG device or the Play Store to download apps only via WLAN.

The app cache on the LG smartphone serves as a cache to speed up operations. Data such as pictures, videos, documents or even temporary settings are stored in the app cache. This data does not have to be loaded the next time the app is run and is available smot faster.

But a full app cache also has the disadvantage of slowing down over time or storing erroneous information, so if an app becomes slow or errors occur, it's worth clearing the app cache on the LG device.

The app memory stores all the information and data of an app, which can be deleted on the LG smartphone in just a few steps, restoring the app to its original state with the exception of updates.

This means that data such as photos, scores, accounts, documents, settings, cache etc. are deleted from the device and cannot be restored.

Apps should always be kept up to date, not only to have the latest features on board, but also to close possible security gaps. On the LG smartphone, automatic app updates can be enabled or disabled via the Play STore.

If an app has hung up, it can be forced to quit via the app settings, but data may be lost.
