    I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 with Android version 9

    The install process for MSDefender shows me this screen

    When I press Allow I get this screen

    I don't have any clue as to where to go from here, just returning does nothing. So I must need to set something, I just don't know what.

    Thanks for your help.

    Thank you for the reply. I can get to the accessibility menu on my android phone but I cannot find out what settings to set so that Microsoft Defender can do its web browsing protection. I really need someone with Defender knowledge just to tell me what to turn on.

    Thanks again for your help.

    Hi Edward,

    Can you please tell me which Android phone are you using?

    Also, it would be better if you could share the screenshot of the Android accessibility screen on which the Microsoft Defender install sends you to.

    Please note that share the screenshot hiding the important information.

    Warm Regards, Utkarsh
