Play Protect: Android’s new security system is now available

[infscrtyrisk]

Play Protect is the amalgamation of Google’s Android security features, such as Verify Apps and Bouncer, and it’s integrated into the Google Play Store app. As such, users don’t need to look up, download, and install a separate app.

Pity it is so hidden away. Perhaps intentionally not to piss-off the makers of the tons of antimalware apps for sale on the Play Store.

There is something called* "App Check" that will allow Google to inspect every app you've already downloaded, and a doorman-style app blocker that will warn you if an app is suspicious.

You're talking about App Check.
The article is about Play Protect.

Same thing. They just moved it back to the Play store from Play services.
