3rd Party iOS App

I am using some iOS app apps from 3rd parties app installers like TutuApp, Appvalley, iOSgods, and more, sometimes I see that the apps are not working correctly or do not open the app store even.

My concern is whether those will be security threats to my device or if they can steal data from my phone.

Here is the source I have downloaded such apps on my iPhone -

iPhone 11

Not iOS App from App Store??? I have been trying for years to find the vulnerability in my devices and I’ve come across too many but most recently I went through all of my Apps in the App Store app and looked at the “receipt” for all paid & free apps and I have 3 apps that are not iOS Apps. Facebook, YouTube & an app by Cisco I had to download for a meeting with my son’s school. I called Apple and the only advice I got was to delete the apps & only use web version. That’s a bandaid, not a solution. And didn’t seem concerned at all with how this can even happen. I’ve only ever downloaded any app from App Store. How is this possible? [Edited by Moderator]

Why did an unasked for app download onto my phone? Why did an app suddenly pop up on my phone that I didn’t download nor want? I didn’t download it for one thing I was downloading the chipotle app and this is social media one, so why did that happen? Is chipotle connected to social media or something? Besides that how can I stop that from ever happening again? I already have little space on my phone so I don’t want unauthorised apps just downloading on my phone and now potentially taking up space in my limited cloud storage.

Most definitely.
