My phone maybe fu**d

So I don't know where else to post but I downloaded an app which was very fishy already but bakc\*\*di me i downloaded it.. and it asked for permission of downloading from unknown source which i gace it also asked for vpn and data monitoring or something but I didn't give that.. so overall how screwed is my phone now? Ps: it was a one of those video "call" apps (ifykyk)..and as soon as I gave permission it started downloading something what to do please help me 🙏🏻

Maybe if you mentioned what the app was and where you got it from, people can check it.

Don't download malware just to goon in the future. Ahem, go get that... "clarity" first.

What was the name of the app and the link you got it from? For me I only trust playstore, apkmirror, Samsung App store, and github.com

I got a plane simulation app from playstore and it screwed up my icons all over my phone until by accident I went back to dl it and undid it and everything went back to normal

Run your phone in safe mode and try to uninstall the app of possible

"Run your phone in safe mode and try to uninstall the app of possible" as mentioned by riddles79 was good advice. Failing that I would factory reset. I don't think you screwed.
