A few minutes ago, I’m just reading the news from the RSS feeder app called Feeder and then suddenly I got a notification from x from Linux handbook which I was seeing in the feeder app. How?

They do. Some of the bigger apps have their own zero day exploits that they use to get into things. Facebook is typically the worst, primarily because they bypass the app stores and make deals directly with manufacturers to install system apps.
Incidentally, in Android phones, WhatsApp was the primary vector for the NSA’s Pegasus toolkit. They would send a WhatsApp call, then with no response from the user gain full access to the phone. How did WhatsApp give them access to the phone, if WhatsApp itself didn’t have access? With iPhones, Pegasus targeted iMessages, so it makes more sense that they’d find a way in there.
