Google Play Protection

[Anderson199214]

I officially turned off Google Play Protection 

I don't see the benefits from it all it does is slowing down the performance and eating battery life away 

I have Samsung auto blocker with maximum restrictions turned on already!

How is Google Play Protect, slowing anything down, or using battery?? 

Play Protect scans apps for security & privacy violations.. it's quite different from auto blocker.

Hi Anderson199214,

We appreciate your thoughtful approach to device security and performance. You're absolutely right that Google Play Protect and Samsung Auto Blocker function independently, and your point about potential performance and battery impact is valid.

With Samsung Auto Blocker and Knox enabled, your Galaxy device already benefits from robust, real-time protection. Disabling Google Play Protect is a personal choice, and if it improves your experience, that’s completely understandable.

Just make sure to install apps from trusted sources, and you’ll continue to enjoy strong and reliable protection on your device.

Thank you.

You should not be praising this post! 

Play Protect does NOT impact performance, or the battery!!

Knox is always enabled on non Rooted devices, and Auto Blocker only prevents people from installing things that they might be unaware of.

I never Installed apps outside of Galaxy Store and Google Play Store

If you never install apps outside of the Play Store & Galaxy Store, then Auto Blocker is kinda unnecessary.. Auto Blocker is designed to Protect you from installing apps outside of those two, ie: apk mirror. 

Play Protect doesn't use any battery, and certainly doesn't affect performance at all, it only runs intermittently, ie: when you download new apps or updates from the Play Store / Galaxy Store, and then only very briefly.
