OnePlus How to enable or disable Google Play Protect

Google Play Protect scans the apps during and after download for potential risks or malware, and rescans the already installed apps at regular intervals.

If a risk or security vulnerability is detected, we are notified immediately and can uninstall the corresponding app.
If a higher threat level is detected, Play Protect automatically disables the downloaded app and waits until uninstallation.

Google Play Protect is a Play Store service, which is why we are redirected to it when the settings are opened.
