Google can’t really have it both ways—either Play Protect is critical or it isn’t. It’s the default response from Google when new malware strikes, telling users to make sure it’s enabled. That protection falls away if it’s seen as the norm to disable it when an app can’t get through. How then does a user know what is dangerous and what isn’t.

A leak from AssembleDebug (via Android Authority) reveals that Google Play is testing a new 'Continue Playing' section in the Games tab. This section will list all games installed on your phone, allowing you to launch them directly from Google Play no need to search through your device's app launcher.

Google is reportedly testing a new security feature that could let Play Store users pause Play Protect instead of disabling it altogether.

Google is testing a new feature that could let Play Store users temporarily pause Play Protect instead of disabling it altogether.

Google is working on a feature that will allow users to temporarily pause Play Protect, Android's built-in security scanner. The feature could not only make sideloading easier but also keep your device protected in the long run.
