About verifying apps
Some apps can harm you or your phone. You
can choose to verify apps in order to help pre-
vent harmful software from being installed
on your phone.
If you attempt to install an app from any
source while app verication is turned on,
your phone may send information identifying
the app to Google.
If the app is harmful, Google may warn you
not to install it, or it may block the installa-
tion completely.
