Users of certain mobile phones are being warned against downloading an app. Google has advised Android users to avoid the Chinese shopping app Punduoduo after malware was discovered in some versions.
This has led to Google suspending the Punduoduo app on Google Play store due to "secruity concerns". It comes after concerns were raised about TikTok - which is also Chinese-owned - posing a potential national security threat.
According to Manchester Evening News, some people have even alleged that the app could be used to 'spy' on users while the British government has outright banned TikTok on any government devices this week.
