[deleted] I know a couple of apps like Wireguard and Signal has the ability to update itself when the user allows the install permission. But does this also mean that malicious self-updating app can install other apps without the user knowing?
Dumdum [deleted] No? That would require the app to have the Install unknown apps permission. Even then, I don't think they could install without the user knowing, since installation displays a confirmation prompt.
[deleted] Dumdum That's right, I forgot about the confirmation prompt. I guess it was a meaningless question.
