If you have downloaded any of these apps, delete them immediately. Both of these are fraudulent messaging apps have been developed to provide a user experience that is identical or similar to that of Telegram and Signal. However, due to the fact that they are dangerous apps that are capable of stealing your data, Google has deleted them from the Android Play Store.
Signal plus Messenger and FlyGram are the names of the two mobile applications in dispute. Afore Google removed it, the former had been available on the Play Store for more than nine months and had approximately one hundred users download it. The same group was responsible for the creation of FlyGram, which was discontinued in the year 2021. Despite this, both applications may still be downloaded from third-party websites as well as the Samsung app store.
If one of these messaging apps has been installed on your device, Signal insists removing both of them immediately and ensuring that your account has been disconnected from the false apps before doing so. People who have connected an infected device to their genuine Signal or Telegram account are vulnerable to having their sent and received messages, as well as their contact list, sneaked on by malicious actors using a tool called Signal Plus.
Due to this, the users must more likely only depend on official apps for these applications. Also, it is advised that users must continue to check the list of your Connected Devices every few months to verify that no additional devices that you are unfamiliar with have obtained access to your account. Because Telegram and Signal are marketed as messaging applications that prioritize users’ privacy, it’s possible that users may become frustrated if they discover that their privacy has been violated in some way.
Watch out for these Dangerous Apps; New China-linked spyware is targeting Android users through fake Signal and Telegram apps.
