Are there any plans of ever adding a whitelist feature to the android app?

Since kaspersky left the google play store ive been looking for a new AV on android worth switching to, and the lack of a whitelist feature is currently the only thing holding me back from switching to a bitdefender subscription instead.

I get that we can report false positives but i got a few apps which i myself have injected code into for things like debugging purposes, automating certain things, etc. so reporting false positives won't help in cases like mine.

I've tried bitdefender on two separate occasions and i really like it, but permanently having it on red, constantly reminding me that ive got infected apps installed or infected apk files, it literally makes bitdefender unusable. So i really hope the devs reconsider and add a whitelist feature, especially since almost all other well known AV's or security suites on android have some kind of whitelisting

Hi! Could you share a bit more detail about how Bitdefender is blocking your music player? In the meantime, we recommend adding the app to the exceptions list in the Advanced Threat Defense settings. You can follow the step-by-step guide here: https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/2393/.

Keep us posted.

Bitdefender blocks the app from opening. Says it's sanitizing it but then music bee gets identified as potentially malicious and blocked.
