I joined a Telegram group related to cryptocurrency and someone shared an APK file claiming it helps users earn rewards. They insist the app is safe but it is not available on the Google Play Store. Is it safe to install?

No. APK files shared through Telegram can contain malware designed to steal banking information, passwords, OTPs, and personal data. Only install applications from trusted sources such as the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
