Is Mobile Security truly scanning my files?

I have the 'Scan Storage' option checked, but I only see my apps being scanned with the manual scan. And the screen says "Scanning Apps."

I have thousands of files, though the scan shows I am 100% safe with 354.

Wouldn't they show up on the list as it scrolls?

(Yes, the Galaxy 24 Ultra has been rebooted)

    Hello.

    Bitdefender protects your device and data against malicious apps using on-install scanning and on-demand scanning.

    On-install scanningWhenever you install an app, Bitdefender Mobile Security automatically scans it using in-the-cloud technology. The same scanning process starts each time the installed apps are updated. If the app is found to be malicious, an alert will appear prompting you to uninstall it. Tap Uninstall to go to that app's uninstall screen.

    On-demand scanningWhenever you want to make sure that the apps installed on your device are safe to use, you can initiate an on-demand scan.

    So, Bitdefender Mobile Security scans only the apps (.apk file type), and not other file types (for example: .pdf, .jpeg, .doc, etc.).

    Regards.
