@dasmatus@mastodon.social @jvnebnunny@lgbtqia.space @brett@bitflipp.social @mortal_engine@mastodon.social @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social unlike desktop OSs, Android and iOS have a robust security model which mean that it is in fact safe to download random apps. On Windows, Linux or macOS, if an app does malware-y stuff like encrypting your files, stealing passwords, or listening through the microphone in the background, that's your fault for installing an untrusted app. On Android and iOS it would be a security vulnerability in the OS itself.
