Is WatcherManager++1.5.1.apk safe?

Verdict
Safe

No antivirus engine detected the APK, including 17 tier-1 engines, though its obfuscation and unchecked direct-IP contacts warrant normal installation caution.

All 75 antivirus engines returned no malicious or suspicious detection, including 17 tier-1 engines. The APK contains obfuscation and network-related indicators, but no completed sandbox run or host-reputation check is available to confirm harmful activity.

Install with normal care

Use the APK only from its official developer channel and review requested permissions before installation. Keep Android security protections enabled and deny permissions unrelated to the app's stated function.

This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.

Analyst conclusion

All 75 antivirus engines returned no malicious or suspicious detection, including 17 tier-1 engines. The APK contains obfuscation and network-related indicators, but no completed sandbox run or host-reputation check is available to confirm harmful activity.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • file.tags includes obfuscated, telephony, and reflection; these capabilities can hinder inspection or access sensitive Android functions, although none produced an engine detection.
  • MalwareTips.Synth.DirectIpC2 fired after 10 external IP contacts without application domains, but there is no completed sandbox observation or host-reputation cross-check to establish command-and-control.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Recommended action

Use the APK only from its official developer channel and review requested permissions before installation. Keep Android security protections enabled and deny permissions unrelated to the app's stated function.

What is WatcherManager++1.5.1.apk?
Evidence-based answer
WatcherManager++1.5.1.apk is an Android app (APK), about 3.8 MB. Our analysis did not identify a verdict-driving threat signal. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
How many antivirus engines detected WatcherManager++1.5.1.apk?
Evidence-based answer
None — 0 of 75 antivirus engines flagged WatcherManager++1.5.1.apk. That's reassuring, though it is not proof that a file is safe, so we also weigh its behaviour, identity, and reputation.
What is the SHA-256 hash of WatcherManager++1.5.1.apk?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of WatcherManager++1.5.1.apk is 5a918f6ca7d6fda090eb55b944e5025c89953999ea58deb746a8f694020eb873, and its MD5 is 901e070642fcef50fcee1d36adca1674. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
Is it safe to install WatcherManager++1.5.1.apk?
Evidence-based answer
Based on the recorded evidence, WatcherManager++1.5.1.apk has a low observed risk. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it, verify the source and the exact hash before overriding the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of WatcherManager++1.5.1.apk?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on September 14, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of WatcherManager++1.5.1.apk is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.
