Allow manual exclusion of detected APKs or files in the F-Secure app for Android
Hello,
We would like to submit a feature request for the F-Secure app for Android.
Background
When downloading and installing custom APKs or files, the app currently detects them as harmful and only offers the option to remove them. End users cannot manually add exclusions or allowlist entries. This presents a challenge for advanced users or in specific environments where certain APKs or files are trusted but not officially signed.
Interestingly, we have observed that another mobile security app, F-Secure Mobile Security (with different account permissions), appears to offer more flexibility in this situation. However, the standard consumer apps (SAFE/TOTAL Mobile) do not.
Feature Request
Please consider adding manual exclusion/allowlist functionality for APK files on Android, similar to the exclusion functionality for the desktop app.
If full manual exclusion is not possible for security reasons, perhaps a controlled option (e.g., a confirmation warning + account-level permissions) could be introduced.
Also, could you explain the functional differences between the two mobile apps?
Benefits
This will greatly improve usability for advanced users, testers, and environments that require custom apps, while still providing strong default security for average users.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
