Android scanners are useful for known signatures, but I wouldn’t treat one as a full replacement for good install hygiene. Because of the app sandbox, a normal scanner can’t deeply inspect everything another app does.
Hypatia can help catch known files, but source, permissions, OS/WebView updates, and checking suspicious APKs before installing still matter more. A clean scan also doesn’t mean an app won’t abuse permissions you voluntarily granted it.
