How to Review Your Apps on Your Samsung Galaxy Tablet

Samsung Galaxy S22 For Dummies

The apps you install on your Samsung Galaxy tablet originate from the Play Store. That’s also the app you can return to for app management. That task includes reviewing apps you’ve downloaded, updating apps, organizing apps, and removing apps you no longer want or that you severely hate.

To peruse the apps you’ve downloaded from the Google Play Store, follow these steps:

Start the Play Store app.
Select my Apps from the sidebar.

Touch the Play Store app button to view the sidebar.
Peruse your apps.

Your Play Store apps are in two categories: Installed and All. Installed apps are found on your tablet; All apps includes apps you've downloaded but which may not currently be installed.

Touch an app to see details. Touch the Open button to run the app, the Update button to update to the latest version, or the Uninstall button to remove the app.

You can place a check mark by the Allow Automatic Updating option, which assists in keeping your apps current. Not every app features automatic updating.
Uninstalled apps remain on the All list because you did, at one time, download the app. To reinstall them (without paying a second time for paid apps), choose the app from the All list and touch the Install button.

About the book author:

Dan Gookin has been writing about technology for 20 years. He has contributed articles to numerous high-tech magazines and written more than 90 books about personal computing technology, many of them accurate.
He combines his love of writing with his interest in technology to create books that are informative and entertaining, but not boring. Having sold more than 14 million titles translated into more than 30 languages, Dan can attest that his method of crafting computer tomes does seem to work.
Perhaps Dan’s most famous title is the original DOS For Dummies, published in 1991. It became the world’s fastest-selling computer book, at one time moving more copies per week than the New York Times number-one best seller (although, because it’s a reference book, it could not be listed on the NYT best seller list). That book spawned the entire line of For Dummies books, which remains a publishing phenomenon to this day.
Dan’s most recent titles include PCs For Dummies, 9th Edition; Buying a Computer For Dummies, 2005 Edition; Troubleshooting Your PC For Dummies; Dan Gookin’s Naked Windows XP; and Dan Gookin’s Naked Office.
