Description

Google Play Protect is a built-in service on Android devices that helps keep your apps safe and your data private. It scans apps before and after installation, checks for potentially harmful apps (PHAs) from any source, and takes action like uninstalling or disabling PHAs to protect your device. Here's a more detailed look at how it works: 1. Scans Apps: Before Installation: Google Play Protect scans apps from the Google Play Store before you download them. After Installation: It also scans installed apps, including those sideloaded or installed via an Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) system. Regular Scans: It performs daily scans to check for new or potential security threats. 2. Identifies and Protects Against Harmful Apps: Potential Harmful Apps (PHAs): It identifies apps that could be harmful, including malware, phishing apps, or apps that violate Google's policies. Protection Actions: It can warn you about potential risks, disable or remove PHAs, and reset app permissions to protect your privacy. 3. Real-time and Offline Protection: Real-time: Google Play Protect provides real-time protections for non-Play installs, meaning it can flag potentially harmful apps even if they are not downloaded from the Play Store. Offline: It also has offline scanning capabilities, meaning it can scan your device even when you don't have an internet connection. 4. Phishing Detection: Screen Analysis: Google Play Protect Service (GPPS) can locally analyze your device's screen for signs of phishing attacks. Report Suspicious Apps: If it detects a suspicious application, it reports it to Google for review, but no user data is sent. 5. Integration with EMM: Enforced Protection: IT administrators can use an EMM to enforce Google Play Protect and be notified if a potentially harmful app is detected on a managed device.
