Where does the notification show up in? is this an app with the intention of detecting malware? Or is this a picture from a website opened on a broswer?

[Naayam]

I got the notification from Avast Mobile Security premium, this is my anti malware, antivirus tool.

[BarS]

If i understand correctly, this is a 3rd party antivirus app that detected another app as malware? what app did it detect as antivirus?

[Naayam]

You understood correctly. "The app" is called Emergency Sharing, as far as to my knowledge this app is Samsung's.

[BarS]

Emergancy settings is a built in system app that lets you send messages to your chosen emergency contacts to let them know you need help.

As shown in the following link: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00050849/

This app in Not a malware and it's completely safe.

I would reccommend using the built in security check up in device settings > Battery and device care > Device protection > turn on > Scan

So, why in my antivirus app it is considered as malware. I only got this notification after the last system software update.
