About this APK
China Messenger is an app by Pranav Soam, listed since at least September 2019. It includes native code only for x86 32-bit and ARM 32-bit, so it won't run on 64-bit-only phones such as recent Pixels.
It asks for 56 permissions, 15 of them sensitive, including precise location, camera and record audio.

China Messenger APK: questions and answers
Can I install this APK over the version I already have?
Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
Is the China Messenger APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 2fb909ea3b926eddacfe9a25e86f2b4d.
