Windows Phone 8 enables you to choose the apps you want them to display its status on the lock screen of your phone. For instance a notification that you just got a new Gmail email.
At any given time you can reset your Nexus 4 smartphone to the factory default settings, meaning you will bring your phone back to the same state as it was on a day when you took it out of the box.
If you are afraid your friends, kids or any other person you are borrowing your iPad to, might delete an app by mistake or even intentionally, you can enable restrictions on individual all of the apps.
With time it can happen you have a bunch of installed apps on your Windows Phone 8 powered phone you never use anymore, I suggest you to remove them to free some of the storage.
