Why are some apps classified as risky and disabled?

[neku]

I have noticed that some apps are labelled as dangerous by google play, it is not possible to install them or they get disabled after some time automatically. Has any member come across an app which is automatically disabled or disappeared, and what harm can the app cause?

Hi, yes, I've had a similar experience with some apps that Google Play flags as dangerous. This often happens because these apps contain malware, spyware, or use excessive permissions that compromise device security. Some apps, especially those from untrusted developers, can steal personal data, display fraudulent ads, or even grant unauthorized access to your phone. What usually happens is that Google detects them and automatically removes them, or in some cases, blocks them to prevent further risks. It's always important to check reviews, permissions, and the app's source before installing it. I also recommend having a good, up-to-date antivirus. In general, it's best to be cautious with unknown apps or those that seem to have suspicious functions, as they could harm your device or compromise your personal information.
