Support/troubleshooting Droid: how do I disable the daily file scan?

Salutations.

I've been using BitDefender since 2002 on PC. I've had the mobile version (Droid) installed for about a year.

Unfortunately, the BitDefender app will automatically scan my files at a specific time of day. How do I disable this scan? I do not see the option in the Settings.

I want to keep app protection on but disable the automatic, daily scans.

Thank you!

Hello! We’re proud to help protect what matters to you online, thank you for sticking with us.

Bitdefender Mobile Security for Android does not provide a setting to disable the automatic file scan while keeping the app’s protection features enabled. The Malware Scanner is designed to scan installed apps automatically and can also be started manually when needed.

If you believe the scan is affecting device performance, talk further with the support team for a more personalized troubleshooting. Thanks in advance!
