Google 's Play Protect service will now automatically turn off an Android app's permissions if it’s potentially harmful.
The feature is designed to prevent malicious apps from having access to your phone’S storage, photos, camera, and more.
If Google identifies a harmful app, it will remove it from the Play Store and then warn users if they have it installed on their phone.
Google has been gradually expanding Play Protect to combat the evolving scams that pop up on its app store.
