This app was reported by White Ops which was first published on ZDNet's own platform. ( Full list ) The report clearly states that most of the apps have been created by a single developer group.

Google removed 21 of the 38 apps from the Play Store and first published them on the Google Play Store in January last year. All of these apps were filtered selfies but all apps have been removed due to malware behavior. Some of these apps were downloaded more than five lakh times in the three weeks since their launch on the App Store.

In September 2019, the developers published another 15 apps on the Play Store. Then in November, two new apps were released called Rose Photo Editor & Selfie Beauty Camera and Pinut Selife Beauty Camera & Photo Editor which also hit the Play Store.

Most of the apps removed from the Play Store had packers with the app in the background in the form of APK. Developers are using this packers technology to hide malware in their apps. They are also using Arabic characters in the app's source code to hide their malware apps.
