How can I access the apps on the moto g54 5G or download others?

You can download more apps, in addition to the apps preloaded on your phone.

If the app will contain important information (such as banking apps), you can install it directly into your secure folder. Otherwise, just put it with your other apps:

1. Open the Play Store app.
2. Browse by category or search.
3. Tap an item to see a description, read reviews and download it.

• If you don’t want the app’s icon added to your home screen when you install an app, touch & hold a blank space on your home screen, touch Home settings > Home screen style > App tray and turn Add app icons to Home screen off .
• To view Play Store apps you've installed on this phone, touch your profile icon > Manage apps and device > Manage and change Installed to Not installed to see apps you've installed on other devices using the same Google account.
• To prevent accidental or unwanted purchases, touch your profile icon > Settings > Authentication > Require authentication for purchases .

Get apps from other sources
Before downloading, do some research: check the app's rating and read lots of comments.

To download apps:

   If you see a warning, touch OK to continue.
   You'll see in the status bar when the download completes.
2. Tap the download notification to install the app. Or, open the Files app to install it later.
3. When installing the app, be sure to review what information the app will access. If you don’t want the app to access this information, cancel the installation. For example, if you're installing an app that makes a shopping list, the app should not require access to your contacts.
