Don’t try to download cracked apps and you’ll be fine.

There have been some genuine apps that then download malware in the background, often after months.
But the same thing exists on the apple store.

I was going to say something similar, if you use the play Store you’re about as safe as you use the Apple app Store. They do the same kind of checks. Some apps that are allowed I would not personally install as I consider them spyware (like TikTok or anything by Meta).
You should always be considerate what you Install, if you Install a video call app that needs camera permission fine, if you Install a digital clock app that needs camera permission not fine at all.
