Some dangerous Showbox-based apps surfaced on Samsung’s Galaxy Store

Samsung Galaxy Store

Recently, some malicious apps have been identified in the Samsung Galaxy Store. These apps were discovered by Android Police. To be more precise, many Showbox movie piracy app clones have been discovered. As many of you know, the Galaxy Store is basically a Samsung alternative to the Play Store.

It’s been a long time coming and you can download apps from it to your Samsung smartphone. In any case, if you try to install any Showbox-based apps that you have seen from the source, the Google Play Protect alert will pop up. The source also said that the warning could not be triggered without a reason.

Even more worrying is that some of these apps may have asked for unexpected permissions. It’s always a great sign that something went wrong. Some of them asked for access to contacts, call logs, etc.

After consulting linuxct, an Android security analyst, it was discovered that these apps may not contain malware. However, they can execute dynamic code, so they can download and execute other code containing malware.

The source has not tested the apps further to see if they are doing any harm, but it is worrying. The Showbox has been closed for almost two years now, which makes things even more suspicious.

This is not surprising considering the time of year, but we recommend that you stay away from such apps until Samsung clears things. However, it is very easy for a company to remove those apps.

WhatsApp to introduce reaction notification feature for status updates

WhatsApp Reaction Notification feature

WhatsApp for Android is rolling out a new beta update, which enhances user interaction with status updates by developing a new reaction notification feature. Users can identify the new beta update through version 2.24.9.29 on Android devices.

Previously, WhatsApp had been working on a quick reaction feature. The latest beta version goes a step further by providing an option to turn off notifications for ‘Like reactions.’ This means users can choose not to be notified every time someone reacts to their status, which could be particularly useful for those who receive many reactions.

This feature is beneficial as it allows users to reduce disruptions by preventing their notification panel from being cluttered with WhatsApp reaction notifications. But for those who prefer to view reactions at their convenience, this update will allow them to do so without the constant alerts.

Moreover, WhatsApp aims to enhance users’ control over their notifications and let them decide how they want to engage with status updates. This update is still under development, so stay tuned more details will be shared as they become available.
