# Google Play Protect verify Apps

The **Google Play Protect Verify Apps** setting controls whether **Google Play Protect’s app verification** feature is enforced on managed Android devices.

**Google Play Protect** is a built‑in Android security service that continuously scans installed apps — including those installed from unknown sources — for malware and potentially harmful behavior. It helps prevent threats by warning users or blocking the installation of suspicious apps.

#### Navigation:

Device Management → Device Profiles → Edit Profile → Privacy Settings → Google Play Protect Verify Apps

#### **What This Setting Does**

This policy setting corresponds to the `googlePlayProtectVerifyApps` field in the underlying Android Management API. It determines how Play Protect’s *Verify Apps* feature is applied on managed devices.

**Options available in your CubiLock UI:**

* **Unspecified** – No explicit override. Default behavior is applied, which typically means *Play Protect verification is enabled by default*.
* **Enforced** – *Google Play Protect verification is forced ON* for all managed devices. This ensures that app scanning and verification remains active at all times.
* **User Choice** – The end user is allowed to decide whether Play Protect should be enabled or disabled. This gives flexibility but may reduce security enforcement.

#### **How to Use It**

1. Navigate to the **Privacy Settings** tab in the profile editor.
2. Select **Google Play Protect Verify Apps**.
3. Choose one of the three options:
   * **Enforced** to mandate verification on all devices,
   * **User Choice** to allow users to decide, or
   * **Unspecified** to leave default Android behavior in place.
4. After selecting the desired option, click **Save** at the top right to apply the changes.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cubilock.com/profile-management/privacy-settings/google-play-protect-verify-apps.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
