@Mniot if you get a message like this, what would you infer ??๐ค๐ค๐ค
That I've unwisely installed some bad software and I should delete it, as recommended.
That you installed an app named after PDFs which is doing screen sharing?
@MantisWaffle actually a friend's phone has been been hacked, and that was the screenshot of the message he sent me...... I'll find out more from him......
Your friend installed a malicious app. They should follow the instructions on the screen: stop and uninstall the app in question and then restart the phone.
And then your friend should be more discerning about what apps they install. Only install high-rated, widely-used apps from trustworthy sources.
