The short answer
The app is a separate game from official Mobile Legends. It uses its own package name, its own servers, and asks for no login, so your official Moonton account is never in the loop. The file itself is a standard Android APK with ordinary permission requests. The honest caveats are the ones that apply to any unofficial fan project, and this guide covers them straight.
Why your official account is not at risk
Ban systems punish accounts on the official servers. It never connects to those servers and never asks for your Moonton credentials, so there is nothing for enforcement to flag. You can install both games on the same phone without any conflict. The full separation is also covered in our 2019 build vs official comparison.
What the APK asks for
During install, this app asks for storage permission to save game data, which is normal for any game of this type. It does not request root, device administrator rights, or access to your contacts. If any copy of the app demands those things, it is not the real build. Uninstall it immediately and get the file from a trusted source.
The unofficial caveat
It is a fan-made project, not an official product, so it carries no warranty or support channel. The server is run by fans and can be unstable at times. That is the real risk to understand: not a ban, but occasional downtime and no official help desk. Go in with that expectation and you will not be disappointed.
Staying safe in practice
Download only from sources you trust, like the app download page on this site. Never pay anyone for the file; it is free. Never enter your real game passwords or personal details anywhere in the app. And keep a backup of anything you care about, since fan servers can reset. Follow those habits and the practical risk is minimal.
