    So they will know an app is harmful, allow it to stay on the store, allow it to be downloaded and installed…but then block the permissions. Thanks G

    Also, the only app I’ve ever seen flagged as harmful on my phone so far is KDE connect, so I can’t say I have much faith in this avoiding false positives.

      If it’s from the Play Store, it gets removed from the store. This is mostly for sideloaded apps.
