Unfamiliar app found on iPhone

Whilst on my phone earlier I noticed an app that I’d never seen before, at first I thought WhatsApp had changed their logo but it was in the latest download section so I knew it couldn’t be that. Upon further inspection it was an app which I’d never heard of or even knew about and still don’t know much about now. After checking the App Store apparently I downloaded it on “1st February 2021” but as noted I’d never heard of the app. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Either downloaded by someone that had the Passcode to your device or purchased on another device that was signed into your account. With this happening in 2021, this was obviously way before your iPhone 17 and setting up that phone just transferred it from your previous phone/backup.

Those are the only 2 ways. If you have not changed your Apple Account password since then, I would do it now.
