What precautions should I take when downloading mobile apps to prevent malware and data theft?

1. Make sure you download apps only from the official App Store of your device.
2. Check app permissions before you download it. Don't install apps that ask for extended and unnecessary permissions
3. Prioritize apps from well-known developers and companies, whenever possible
4. Avoid downloading apps from unknown websites.
5. Read reviews of the app before downloading it.
6. If possible, enable two-factor authentication, to reduce the risk of data theft from malicious apps.
