2026-07-21	Ma*****	When you put your phone to sleep 😴 then wake up your phone to use this app you will get a pop up saying turn on your accessibility to use this app, and yes with the free trial and the payed version of this will happen.I tried two other Antivirus apps and they are the same way, apps like Malwarebytes and McAfee is the same way.So if you have Android 16 on your phone you may as well not buy any Antivirus apps from the Google Play Store at all.Not cool Google. Stay safe everyone.
