Many Android users think that all apps in the Google Store are always reliable and trustworthy. In fact, the developers of many apps are scammers. So we need to be careful. I always download only Best Games and Apps because I know they 100% won't put a virus on my smartphone. Also, I believe that we should never download unfamiliar APKs to our phones from the browser. Even Google Store has no guarantee of protection, so we must be doubly careful in the browser. My phone is a powerful device. I want all the RAM not to be taken up with processing an obscure app, you know. I use the phone not just for fun but also as a book at university. I open many important files for courses on it.

In a world in which every app asks permission to access just about every nook and cranny of your phone, the future of those who trade convenience for security will be littered with empty bank accounts. 😛
