How did it get on your phone? You installed it.
Stupid headline is stupid.
And you could have installed it without needing to throw a giant hissy fit about app stores. It’s a fucking website with an app wrapper. If you want that kind of crap on your phone, tap Share > Add to Home Screen.
It seems kinda obvious what the article is about. And no, it's not really about the porn app.
It looks like you entirely missed the point of the article, whether intentionally or not.
I’m gonna back the person you replied to. It’s a shitty headline. It’s clickbait. No app gets on your phone without deliberate action from the user. This is obviously not addressing malware, which would definitely not install a porn app, but which could potentially run code to install something and which would certainly hide that fact.
Shit headline. Article content was not addressed. Person you replied to was correct.
