Google Play Protect now has separate app listing on Play Store
Google Play Protect has been a key security component for Android for several years, working closely with Windows Defender and other anti-malware applications.
Scanning installed apps (even those outside the Google Play Store) to detect malicious software, and like most Google services on Android, has been updated using the Play Services’ main library.
However, Play Protect is now separated from Play Services, at least on some phones and tablets. The Google Play Protect now has a separate app list in the Google Play Store (via Google News in Telegram), with the package name “com.google.android.odad.”

The app description does not reveal any new information, it simply states what Play Protect is already doing:
Security starts with Google Play Protect.
Security starts at the application layer with Google Play Protect’s built-in malware defense. Backed by Google’s machine learning, it’s always adapting and improving. Every day, Google Play Protect automatically scans all of the apps on Android phones and works to prevent the installation of harmful apps, making it the most widely deployed mobile threat protection service in the world.
Google Play Protect now has a separate downloadable app from the Google Play Store. It was previously part of Play, though from my decompilation of the APK it still requires Play Services to function.https://t.co/Osi5vDpKVL

The app does not appear on the Google Play Store website but does appear when you open the app page on an Android device. The message “Your device is not compatible with this version” comes from most phones, so it looks like Google has not finished downloading Play Protect from Play Services on all devices, the app seems to be available for Android 12 devices.
Google Play reports that there are more than 100,000 “downloads” for this unique app, so it’s already been released to a lot of people.

WhatsApp for Android is rolling out a new beta update, which enhances user interaction with status updates by developing a new reaction notification feature. Users can identify the new beta update through version 2.24.9.29 on Android devices.
Previously, WhatsApp had been working on a quick reaction feature. The latest beta version goes a step further by providing an option to turn off notifications for ‘Like reactions.’ This means users can choose not to be notified every time someone reacts to their status, which could be particularly useful for those who receive many reactions.
This feature is beneficial as it allows users to reduce disruptions by preventing their notification panel from being cluttered with WhatsApp reaction notifications. But for those who prefer to view reactions at their convenience, this update will allow them to do so without the constant alerts.
Moreover, WhatsApp aims to enhance users’ control over their notifications and let them decide how they want to engage with status updates. This update is still under development, so stay tuned more details will be shared as they become available.
