Abstract :
Mobile devices, despite their relatively short existence, have rapidly become the most widely utilized computing devices. The prevalence of smartphones, which support third-party applications, has made it increasingly crucial for both end-users and service providers to prioritize the security of these devices and the networks that support them. As users become more dependent on applications such as Short Message Service (SMS), Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), internet access, and online transactions, the importance of security measures grows. The Android operating system, which powers a vast array of devices from budget-friendly models to premium smartphones, has established itself as the leader in the smartphone market. This trend facilitates access to mobile technology for individuals across various socioeconomic strata, enabling them to incorporate these devices into their daily lives. In response to this surge in popularity, the Android market has seen a significant increase in the introduction of new applications. However, the emergence of diverse mobile malware has raised concerns among security experts and researchers. Given the continuous growth of the mobile phone sector, the potential for these devices to be exploited for criminal purposes is expected to escalate in the future. This article provides a review of the literature concerning malware detection and prevention on Android mobile devices, evaluates significant studies and tasks, and discusses various articles, journals, and digital resources, including internet security publications, scientific research, and conference proceedings.
