Chameleon Android malware can turn off fingerprint unlock to steal your pin::Be careful out there.
It still needs a gullible user to change their settings for this to work; not much to worry about here.
And not from the play store or official bank site.
If you install an APK from unreliable source you should treat your phone and account as corrupted.
It’s funny imagining people saying this for anything but a phone. “You can only download from the Microsoft store or you should consider your device corrupted.” Take caution, but you don’t need to rely on daddy Google alone.
not funny anymore. Banks and regulatory are doing this in some countries. Their app just refuses to open if users install any app outside of Google Play Stores.

Most apps choose to distribute through Play Store only though. If the devs aren’t officially distributing on a separate platform or provide signing keys for you to verify the signature of the APK you get from elsewhere, you’re just asking for malware by downloading it anywhere else.
Lmao what? I have literally never found an APK I was looking for that did anything sketchy to my phone
