It is well-known that the App Store is more secure than the Google Play Store (I have Android and Apple devices).

I’m not surprised that it took longer for WR to pass through the App Store than Google Play. Just last week, they discovered around another 20 apps (7 the week before) that had fooled the Google Play Protect algorithms that installed malware behind the scenes.

If you just use common sense (i.e reading comments, doing a little research) before downloading Android apps (or using an anti-virus app) you should be fine. But there’s a reason why Android releases a security patch every month but Apple only does it every 6 months to a year.
