Google Play Store has started rolling out a new “Pause” feature for Play Protect, allowing users to temporarily disable app security scans.
Unlike the previous “Turn off” option, the new feature automatically reactivates Play Protect the next day, reducing the risk of users forgetting to turn it back on.
This update should help protect Android users from malware and scams while still allowing them to sideload apps without long-term security risks.
Do you do anything with the Play store to prevent it from tracking you? Throwaway account, only grant it network permission when on a VPN, that sorta stuff?
