                                        Hey check it out, people down here going crazy over this thing like its world crisis. Maaan the ignorance here is chart topping.

                                        1. It only affect snapdragon powered devices (exynos, mediatek etc you safe)
                                        2. You need to download an apk that will give all permissions (I see you guys download everything these days)
                                        3. The patch has already been sent and the last one will be sent this September (They tell us about a problem when they have fixed it already, how about that?)
                                        4.No OS is secure, not even windows or IOS.

                                        Calm down and take you prescription of the chill pill. Some of you need an overdose, in fact swallow the whole pack!!!
