Downloading an app can feel quick and harmless, but not every app is trustworthy.

Even in official app stores, some apps may collect more data than expected, include hidden risks, or appear legitimate while behaving differently once installed. Reviews and ratings do not always tell the full story.

• How some apps may appear safe but carry risks
• What permissions and behaviours to watch for
• Why ratings and reviews are not always reliable
• How to check if an app is trustworthy before downloading
