You thought it wasn't reporting every app you install?

You thought it wasn't reporting every app you install?
- gumby271 7mo agoI mean, I'm happy to be conspiratorial about it too, I give Google no benefit of the doubt, but outside of Play Protect I don't think they explicitly say "your phone is telling us every app you install." This new feature is them making that explicit.
- Lammy 7mo agoHow can you say “outside of Play Protect” when it comes enabled by default and hassles me to turn it back on every time I install an APK?
- gumby271 7mo agoReally? I turned Play Protect off and have never been prompted to turn it back on, what phone do you have that does that?
- Lammy 7mo agoIt's this screen: https://support.google.com/googleplay/thread/230937718/annoying-play-protect-warning?hl=en https://support.google.com/googleplay/thread/230937718/annoy... (not several times per hour like this post says, but same UI) Pretty sure this is a Play Services thing, so I don't know that the phone model really matters. But regardless this is on a few different devices: my primary REDMAGIC 9S Pro (Android 15), Surface Duo 2 (Android 12), and my YONGNUO YN455 (Android 10).
