Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2 settings now have a “Scan for deceptive apps” option, which could be a deciding factor. Once enabled, this feature scans app activity for signs of phishing or deceptive behavior using a system service called “ContentProtection.”
While the exact detection methods remain a mystery, a first look at the source code appears to focus on identifying password strings and prompts for sensitive information. Google emphasizes the privacy of on-device scanning, assuring users that if deceptive behavior is detected, relevant app information will be silently sent to Google Play Protection to confirm and alert users.
