Google app being flagged as a virus by Huawei phones (stackdiary.com)

I'm seeing a lot of reports from users of Huawei and Honor devices have reported that their phones are incorrectly identifying Google apps as Trojan malware, specifically labeled as TrojanSMS-PA. According to the alert, this "malicious software" has the ability to send SMS messages without user consent.

Unfortunately, it's true... Monitoring, data collection, implementing ads, and there's so little security for our accounts. Idk, I've been using Google less than ever since ChatGPT came out. And DuckDuckGo.

There are rumors circulating, why Israeli intelligence failed to sniff out about Hamas's attack plan, because Hamas used Huawei phones (without gapps)

Duck duck go is Microsoft second layer.
