Can I get hacked if I open a group invite in the pikii app?

[Anonymous]

There is an app called pikii which I use very often and today they invited me to join a group and I accept but it comes to mind: what if the link brings computer viruses?
Sending invitations works by clicking a button and inserting the name of the user you want to invite.
I think I'm in some danger.

If it's an app with a lot of those blinking ads there is a large change of a virus.

Hacking happens if you are active in a lot of activity online. Or if you have a lot of money. If you are very well known like a celebrity, blogger. Or if you visit sites with questionable origins. Or if you log in to different devices. Or use public Wifi, internet shop, cafe net, etc. If you are dedicated to using only your phone to log-in to your account hacking rarely happens since we are only small people like think about what do hacker get if they spends hours and time hacking your phone? Aside from your data. Rarely do you need to worry about those things unless it is an app that you input your bank account.

If you are still worried you can search google if their is a way to check if a link is a virus or not.

Is that I was sent the invitation by a stranger with whom I speak who sends me his photos without me asking for them and insists every day that I give him my photos because he says he wants to see me and asks me over and over again.

He was the one who created the group and sent me the invitation 6 times and that is what makes me doubt that he will have a virus or something, then when I left the chat he began to send me and send me requests for me to enter in total it was 10 this time.

I miss so much insistence

They are probably a scammer, or one of those people who collects photos and sell them online. If you don't know the person and not sure if the photo they are sending is even their photo then I suggest to just ignore them or block them.

If you are interested in dating them then I suggest you move to another more secure ways of communication like some well known communication tool like WhatsApp, Skype, zoom, messenger probably at least they are well stablished.

If you are venturing to some adult sites I also suggest to try the well stablished kind to avoid being scammed. Communities like that have their own rules and people who joins there are in the lifestyle so you can trust them to a certain degree that they will not sell your photo's or use it online for ads, etc.

If it's not open source, and you didn't review the code and build it yourself, then it's impossible that there's been a malicious hijacker. The chances are small, but it can happen.
