Ok. But if they were to do so what could they potentially do and how would they.
Hard to say with an unknown unknown. There’s no way to know what exact vulnerabilities exist or how they could be chained with other exploits. Think of it like not having your brakes promptly serviced. It’s probably fine, but it’s also possible 5% worse breaking leads to a 30 car pileup that causes a fertilizer factory to explode. In all likelihood nothing would happen, worst case, Frozen Bubble introduces an old library, opening you up to a chain of attacks where the attacker totally owns your device, plays the long game, using it to own your home and work networks, and steals your life savings, has you fired, and sends your nudes to all your grammar school teachers. Or something in between.
Not op but check the permissions of the app and if you’re not comfortable with them don’t use it. As they said you should be fine
