Bitdefender Android Scheduled Scans?

I see that most of the scans in the last week since downloading and installing Bitdefender from the Google Play Store, have been manual scans. Am I'm missing something or is there a setting for Scheduled Scans on my Android Smartphone?

I'll answer my own question since nobody is interested in helping each other besides a select few here NO Setting up Scheduled Scans in Bitdefender Mobile Security of any kind as of 09/2025. I thank myself for answering

Hello.

Unlike other Bitdefender home products, like BD Total Security, BD Mobile Security doesn't have an option for scheduled scans.

Maybe @Alexandru_BD, who works for Bitdefender, can share some insights on this matter.

Sorry we couldn't get to your post sooner. It's been a busy start of the week.

For future reference, such information is also available in the Mobile Security user guide, along with other useful details, so make sure to check it out. 😉

Hi again 🙋‍♂️

I believe this would be a great feature request — many of us would really benefit from customizable scheduled scans on Android. It could help automate security without needing manual checks all the time.

Hopefully the dev team considers adding this in a future release — Bitdefender has come a long way, and this would be a great next step 💡💪

I believe that also. Great idea! Do you work at Bitdefender?

Any idea how to get rid of a Minds.Park Chrome Extension malware. Bitdefender doesn't know how to get rid of Minds.Park from an HP ENVY Laptop Windows 10.

Hello @Dadybear1234 👋,

Haha, no, I don’t work at Bitdefender 😉 — I’m just a passionate community member who’s been using and following Bitdefender for years.

I love sharing suggestions and helping keep the conversation going so that the product team hears what we, the users, really need.

I’m really glad you agree about the importance of customizable scheduled scans on Android — hopefully the developers will consider it in a future release.

Big thanks as well to @Gjoksi and @Flexx for always supporting the community with their expertise and insights — that teamwork is what makes this forum so special. 💙

Thanks again for your kind words — this is exactly the kind of positive vibe that keeps us all engaged. 🙌
