- Google Play Store’s Play Protect feature could soon get a new Rescan button.
- It will let users rescan installed apps without uninstalling harmful apps identified in a previous run.
- The feature could be useful in cases where the feature incorrectly labels an app as harmful.
An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.
In its current form, Play Protect forces you to uninstall harmful apps as soon as they’re detected and doesn’t let you run another scan until you remove the offending app from your device. This behavior can be annoying in cases where it incorrectly labels an app as harmful and doesn’t let you scan the remaining apps until you uninstall it.
As mentioned earlier, the Rescan button is not available in the current Google Play Store release. It will likely arrive with a future update, and we’ll let you know as soon as it starts rolling out.
