I have a Huawei P20 Pro. I received multiple notifications that an app on my phone appears to be infected and I should uninstall in. Has my phone been infected with malware, or are the apps found to have gone against google's security policies or something? Thank you! I'll try to add a screenshot of the message

Welcome to Android Central! It'd be helpful to know which app is giving you that popup. It does look like a real notification from a security app, but I can't tell if it's Google Play Protect, some Huawei security app, or something else. Do you have any 3rd party antivirus apps installed?

Install Toast Source to find out which app is giving you this notification.

FYI, I merged your initial guest post with the followup after you registered, so that it's easier for you to find this thread.
