Asked By TechWizard42 On

I'm really struggling here and I'm not the most tech-savvy person. My phone is a Samsung S23, and I'm having major issues with McAfee for T-Mobile and Mobile Services. It keeps sending me alerts like "We just scanned Mobile Services - It's safe" literally every second of the day! This is making my battery drain from 100% to dead in just a few minutes, and sometimes my phone even overheats. I've tried what T-Mobile and Google suggested—uninstalling and reinstalling the app, restarting my phone, disabling scans, and clearing the cache—but nothing seems to help. Can anyone offer some advice?

Just go ahead and uninstall it. I wouldn't let McAfee anywhere near my devices. It's not worth the hassle.

I wouldn't even trust McAfee on my computer, let alone my phone! Seriously, uninstall it and save yourself the trouble. It was decent back in the day, but it's just bad now.

You can disable it by going into Settings > Device Care > App Protection, and just turn it off. But honestly, I’d recommend just deleting the whole thing.

Definitely turn off that McAfee bloatware. Honestly, Play Protect is sufficient for your needs—no need for extra stuff like McAfee.

Honestly, just uninstall McAfee. You really don’t need it; nothing can get onto your phone without your permission anyway. It's just a drain on your battery and resources.
