Google is taking the stress out of sideloading apps on Android phones with a new feature rolling out to Google Play Store.
TL;DR
- 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.
