Protect against harmful apps

Scan phone for harmful apps
Play Protect helps keep your phone secure by automatically scanning your apps, including sideloaded apps,
to check for potentially harmful apps (malware).
If Play Protect finds a potentially harmful app, it stops the app from running and warns you so that you can
uninstall it.
To see the results or to rescan:
