Google play store asked the users to be more careful while downloading the apps and to check the safety measures before using the app downloaded as the apps monitor the user’s phone and steal information like banking, passwords which can relieve confidential information required to access social accounts or other confidential information. It is always important to check the permissions for access before installing any app.
