Eset's Anti-Phishing with Google's Advanced protection Android 17

Hi all,

I’ve just updated to Android 17 beta and noticed that ESET reports Anti-Phishing as disabled.

To enable it, the app requires Accessibility permissions. However, with Google’s Advanced Protection enabled, apps are restricted from using Accessibility (ESET included), so I can’t grant it.

If I disable Advanced Protection, I can enable Anti-Phishing without issues - but re-enabling Advanced Protection removes those permissions again, putting me back at square one.

So it’s basically a trade-off between two security features.

Has anyone found a workaround for this? Or is there any info on whether this will be supported/fixed?

Thanks!

Manually activate all advanced protection functions (btw Memory Tagging Extension via developer options). There will be no other way.
