Verdict Safe
Is com.
No antivirus engine flagged this long-circulating Android app, while its completed sandbox run and fully covered host-reputation check found no hostile evidence.
Read the whole reasonShow less
Strong evidence · Widely seen for a long time, and nothing harmful found.
The APK can be used if obtained from a trusted source, but review its permissions and monitor data use because of its analytics and telephony-related capabilities. Keep device security protections enabled.

Why we think so
3 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
None of the 67 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the APK, including all 17 major antivirus engines that returned results. It has circulated broadly since 2015, and the completed observation from the test run found no high-risk behavior; all 34 distinct observed network contacts were covered by the host check without a hostile match.
The strongest evidence is the complete absence of detections: none of the 67 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the APK, and 17 major antivirus engines returned no detection. It has also accumulated 641 submissions from 528 sources since 2015, which is consistent with established commodity software rather than a newly introduced payload. One completed sandbox run produced no malicious verdict and mapped no offensive technique. The host-reputation cross-check covered all 34 distinct observed domains, IP addresses, and URLs without a malicious or suspicious match. Obfuscation, reflection, telephony capabilities, and an unsupported community concern warrant ordinary privacy caution, but they do not outweigh the consistent antivirus, runtime, prevalence, and network-reputation evidence.
What We Detected
None of the 67 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this Android package. All 17 major antivirus engines that returned results reported no detection, and no malware family or unwanted-app label was assigned. The package has been submitted 641 times by 528 sources and has been known since 2015.
Threat Behavior
One completed sandbox run recorded no malicious verdict and no high-risk offensive technique. The application contacted Umeng analytics infrastructure and Google service devices. The host-reputation check covered all 34 distinct observed domains, IP addresses, and URLs, finding no known-malicious or known-suspicious host. No persistence indicators were recorded, and no file it created was identified as malicious.
What To Do Now
Install only if the APK came from a source you trust and its requested Android permissions fit a photo-viewing application. Because the package uses obfuscation, reflection, native code, telephony-related capabilities, and analytics services, review its permissions and network usage if privacy is a concern. Keep Android security protections enabled.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- The APK is tagged for obfuscation, reflection, runtime modules, telephony access, and embedded native code; these capabilities merit permission review even though no engine or evidence from the test run ties them to malware.
- One uncorroborated community report alleges unusually high network usage and possible photo uploads, but it has no votes and the observed run did not establish such exfiltration.
- One dropped file has no saved verdict, so its status remains unverified rather than confirmed benign.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- None of the 67 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the APK, including the 17 major antivirus engines that returned results.
- A completed sandbox run found no high-risk technique and issued no malicious verdict.
- All 34 distinct observed network contacts received host-reputation coverage, with no malicious or suspicious matches.
- The app has circulated since 2015 across 528 submitters and 641 submissions.
- No malware-specific research rule, known malware-repository match, or malicious file it created was found.
- The package uses obfuscation, reflection, runtime modules, native code, and telephony-related capabilities, which reduce transparency and justify permission review.
- A community report alleges unusually high data usage and possible photo transmission, but the claim is uncorroborated.
- One dropped file lacks a saved assessment, leaving that artifact without complete coverage.
