How To Check Harmful App In Android

Описание: If you're concerned about the safety of your Android device, regularly scanning for harmful apps is a smart way to protect your data and privacy. This video demonstrates how to use the built-in Google Play Protect feature to identify and remove potentially dangerous apps. Google Play Protect is a security service integrated into the Play Store that automatically scans apps for malware and security threats, and you can also run a manual scan anytime.

To get started, open the Settings app on your Android phone. Scroll down and tap on "Security and privacy." From there, look for a section labeled "App security" or directly locate "Google Play Protect," depending on your Android version and device manufacturer. Once inside the Play Protect menu, tap the "Scan" button to initiate a full check of all installed apps on your device.

The scan may take a few moments. If no harmful apps are detected, you'll receive a message confirming that your device is safe. However, if Play Protect finds any apps it flags as dangerous, they will be listed here. You can tap on each result to view more information and take action, such as uninstalling the suspicious app directly from the results screen. This tool is especially useful if you install apps outside the Play Store or if you suspect something is slowing down or compromising your device.

It’s also advisable to keep Play Protect active at all times. You can do this by ensuring "Scan apps with Play Protect" is enabled in the same settings panel. This way, your Android phone will regularly and automatically check apps for threats without manual intervention.
