Apps automatically stop downloading

Some of the apps include permission for background downloads while others just ask for the camera, location, and microphone. Now that you have granted the permission it is still in your control to restrict it. You can stop them from using data in the background which means the app will use data only when you are using it.

Follow the steps to restrict background data usage. After restricting the apps to use data in the background you will observe that you need to keep the app active till it updates. Moreover, you cannot use any other in the meantime. The apps from non trusted sites can carry malicious files along with them which can affect the data in your system. To track all the malicious programs, you can use an antivirus program. Antivirus will not only protect the files but will also stop Android from installing apps automatically.

Out of the many apps available on the internet, we would recommend you to use the most trusted app. All apps are not ideal for detecting all types of threats. So choose wisely. This is a method to keep your account and system safe from all threats.

Your account credentials can be accessed by other people or you may have left your account opened on other devices. If someone else is using your account on their phone then the apps can automatically download and you need to keep a check-in in that case. If you observe such an issue with your mobile device or your account, then you need to logout of your account from all the other devices and then change the password. Changing the password will keep the account safe and you will only know the credentials.

Lastly, if you have tried all the above methods and still cannot figure out how to stop Android from automatically installing apps, then the step will definitely help you. Factory reset will delete all the data from your system and will make your phone the way you received it after purchase. Before performing the factory reset, we advise you to back up your data as all the data will be erased permanently. When you perform the resetting process, all the settings will change even the setting due to which the apps are installing automatically.
