Tip: In the Store main view, you can see a notification at the top right corner of the screen on

how many of your downloaded apps, games, and other content have updates.

If the app you’ve downloaded doesn’t support your phone language, the app uses US English by

default. If you’ve added more than one phone language and the app supports one of them, the app

is downloaded in the supported language.

Tip: You can also use your computer to browse Windows Phone Store and download content to

your phone. Go to www.windowsphone.com, and browse or search for apps and games.
Tip: If your kid has a Windows Phone 8.1, you can use the My Family website to manage their

game and app downloads and settings. To set up My Family, go to https://

www.windowsphone.com/family, sign in to the Microsoft account with both your and the kid’s

mail address and password, and follow the instructions.
