Google Play Protect won’t be letting you disable it to prevent scammers from tricking you during a call.
Google is now working on introducing a new security feature in Android that makes the option to disable Play Protect unavailable during calls. This feature comes alongside the recently announced new security features for Google Messages that protect users from scams.
The new security feature basically prevents users from disabling Play Protect during voice calls. This will prevent malicious users from tricking you into installing apps that contain viruses or other bad stuff on your phone.
This change is first coming to Singapore, but the folks at Android Authority managed to enable it ahead of its wider release so we can have an early look at it.
