Researchers advise: Delete the Android app SnapTube immediately!
WhatsApp users like to install additional apps to get more out of WhatsApp. “SnapTube”, one of these applications, has now attracted more than negative attention as it has apparently turned out to be harmful. You are advised to delete this Android app immediately.
Activities in the background
Forbes reported in October that the WhatsApp additional application “SnapTube” operates in the background and does not just perform the functions the app is intended for. The application is very popular: you can use it to download YouTube videos via WhatsApp and make them available offline. But be careful! This app may have defrauded around 40 million users so far.

Spy app takes out subscriptions with user data
The activities of “SnapTube” not only cheat users but also advertising companies out of money. Over 70 million suspicious transactions are said to have originated from “SnapTube” within just six months, security researchers from Upstream .
This app delivers invisible advertisements that generate clicks and purchases - all automated and non-human. Those affected are not aware of any of this because these transactions are carried out hidden from the users. The users' data is also said to have been entered for subscriptions and expensive premium services were used. A good reason to urgently uninstall this app!
