According to a source, Google may be working on adding more features to Play Protect, its cloud-based app-verification service that protects consumers from fraudulent apps. It is reported that the search engine behemoth is developing a 'Rescan' feature for apps that have previously been reported as dangerous, which would allow users to view their app histories without having to remove it from their devices. According to reports, the capability was discovered by disassembling the Android Google Play Store app using an APK.
In a report, Android Authority and tipster AssembleDebug proposed that Google include a "Rescan" option that appears following an app's Play Protect scan. The Google Play Store app version 41.9.17's APK breakdown led to the discovery of the feature. Nevertheless, it is not yet accessible to users and is apparently still in development.
With this alleged feature, Google is rumored to give customers one more opportunity to rescan the app before deleting it from the device in the event that it has been incorrectly labeled.
The Quarantine Mode of Android 15
Google is apparently adding a new "quarantine" feature to the Play Store along with Android 15. This functionality would make it possible for system programs to isolate and impose restrictions on potentially dangerous apps, such as Google Play Services and the Play Store.
Apps that have been placed in quarantine are believed to have significantly restricted functionality, meaning they can't harm the user's device in any way. Notifications may not be displayed, and its operations will be terminated.
According to reports, the code for this functionality was found in an Android 15 beta update, but is yet to be enabled. It was spotted in the form of a "QUARANTINE_APPS" permission which, apps signed by the same certificate as Google, can be granted to.
