It’s easy to assume that if an app is in either the iPhone App Store or the Google Play Store, it’s safe to download.
Yesterday, a third-party security report revealed that Google had recently removed 224 malicious apps from the Android Play Store.
This can be convenient when working with smaller developers, who might not have the resources to get their programs on the Play Store.
Turn on Google Play ProtectWhile SlopAds was able to bypass Google Play Protect, it’s still a good idea to turn it on if it isn’t enabled on your device already.
To ensure it’s turned on, open the Play Store, click your profile icon in the top right corner, and navigate to Play Protect > Settings.
