All uploaded applications are automatically scanned by a built-in antivirus system powered by three independent antivirus engines.
However, Appteka is a community-driven app exchange platform where users can freely upload applications. The Appteka team is not responsible for user-generated content. While security scanning and content moderation are in place, please take appropriate safety precautions — verify the source, check reviews and ratings before installing.
