So basically, if there's any app where the developer releases a Play Store version, but also has a separate non-Play Store version with added functionality that goes against the Play Store's ToS, Play Protect is going to remove it from your device?
Not flag it, or remove permissions, or freeze it, just straight remove it.
So for example, the Private Internet Access VPN app has a play store version without the ad and tracker blocking functionality, because that goes against the Play Store TOS. But you can get the full version with the ad blockers as an APK from the official website.
Is Play Protect gonna nix that, too?
I'm sure Google will kill off Play Protect soon anyway.
Your name gives me PTSD of the times I’ve lost Hades speedruns to bad sack RNG.
You told me last month
Well lets hope I don’t forget again
I don't believe that play protect actually scans or does anything to an apk that isn't installed through Google play, but you do have the option to turn it off through the Google play store settings.
*Seems that it potentially may remove apks from other store installs. If that's the case, shut the stupid thing off if it causes you problems.
Yet there are straight up ad blockers on the Play store.
