Google seems to be quietly rolling out a new security feature on Android: scanning for deceptive apps.
I first reported on the existence of this feature in Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2, but it's now appearing for some people on the latest Beta 3.1 release.
You can find it under Settings > Security & privacy > More security & privacy.

They’ve already been scanning for malicious apps via Google Play Protect. This new thing is an upgraded detection for Play Protect which has heuristics for detecting apps which do financial fraud. So this is kinda like a heuristics signature update for an AV and not a completely new feature as such.
They have not been doing this all along? Surely they have?
