Google falsely flagged these two Samsung apps as 'harmful'
Google has mistakenly flagged Samsung's Messages and Wallet apps as harmful, causing users to receive warnings from Google Play Protect. The apps were incorrectly identified as attempting to spy on users. Samsung has confirmed that the apps are safe and the issue was a temporary failure of Google's servers. Users can ignore the warning or try restarting their phone, clearing the cache and data for the Google Play Store app, force stopping the app, or uninstalling and reinstalling it.
