  1. can certain apps damage your Xbox one


    Over the past three days I’ve been feeling extremely paranoid about using my Xbox one due to me being under this unexplained threat of my Xbox one being hacked due to an app I installed a year ago on my Xbox one called TMX I uninstalled the app and hid
    it from my ready to install list but recently I have been getting paranoia and worrying that it might reinstall on its own and mess up my Xbox one

    can certain apps damage your Xbox one

    Hi Valvechief N313,

    Is that app available from the Xbox Store and can I ask why this app is cause for concern?

    Whilst there is always a threat to all computers and consoles, Consoles are closed eco systems and are pretty secure in their very nature due to the requirements imposed on companies by Microsoft. I would say you should always keep all apps, games and the
    system up to date with the latest versions.

    There is no guarantee that any system is 100% secure as we still have that human element behind the scenes that can fail but as a user you should always be cautious and never share personal details, always choose strong passwords and follow the basics of
    internet/digital safety.

    I think you should be good. Developers have to get their app certified with Microsoft before being released to the Xbox Store.

    The app TMX is safe for the most part it just has ads running on it and a year ago when I first use the app when I used the app to add a custom background it popped up with a gambling slot machine ad and since there is no way to make my account forget
    that I installed the app it made me a little bit paranoid because I’m scared that the people who make the app remembered that I installed the app and might do bad things

    Should work on your Xbox One. Only certain games and apps will support it at the moment.
