An app can see or control your screen" and Play Protect warnings

When your phone is linked, the Account screen can warn you about two things Google Play reports about the phone:

"An app on this phone can see or control your screen. Scammers often ask people to install such apps. If it wasn't installed on purpose, remove it."

Remote-control and screen-sharing apps (such as AnyDesk, TeamViewer or "support" apps) let someone else see your screen and tap for you. Fake bank and "tech support" scammers ask people to install them, then empty accounts.

"Google Play Protect reports a risk on this phone. Open Play Protect in the Play Store app to check it."

Google Play Protect has found a harmful app or a risky setting. Open the Play Store app → your profile picture → Play Protect, and follow its advice.

These warnings come from Google Play's check of the phone; 1krBlocker doesn't scan your apps itself.
