# Adjust Android Security Settings

* Disable **Google Play Protect** (to prevent automatic blocking).
* Enable **Install from Unknown Sources** (allow app installation from outside the Google Play Store).

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please visit the **Troubleshoot** session for different **Android** brands, such as **Samsung** and **Oppo**, as these settings have varying interfaces across **Android** brands.
{% endhint %}

### Step 1. Disable Google Play Protect

1. Open the **Google Play Store** app.
2. Tap your **profile icon** (top-right corner).
3. Select **Play Protect**.
4. Tap the **Settings gear** (located in the top-right corner).
5. Turn off:
   * **Scan apps with Play Protect**
   * **Improve harmful app detection**
6. Confirm by selecting **Turn off** when prompted.

### Step 2. Enable Install from Unknown Sources

Since the Agent app is distributed outside the Google Play Store, you must allow installation from unknown sources.\
(The exact menu may vary slightly depending on your Android version and brand.)

1. Open **Settings** on the device.
2. Navigate to **Security & Privacy** (or **Apps & Notifications**, depending on your device).
3. Look for **'Install unknown apps' or 'Allow from this source'**.
4. Select the browser or file manager you use for downloading the APK (e.g., Chrome).
5. Enable the "Allow from this source" option.

Note: This message appears when you download the application in step 3.\
You will need to allow the installation of unknown applications for the browser (Here Chrome).
