Phone showing a warning that your device is not certified
This happens when Google can't check that your phone is genuine and safe to use with Google services. If you recently installed custom software, go back to the official Android for your phone model. If you haven't done that, restart your phone and sign out and back into your Google account. This fixes it most of the time.
Google checks that your phone is genuine and running authentic Android to protect your security. If something looks wrong. Like you installed custom software or your phone ID got corrupted. Google blocks certain features until it can check everything is legitimate. Restarting and signing back into your account gets things working again. If you installed custom software on purpose, you'll need to go back to official Android.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Ignoring the warning and hoping it goes away. Google will keep blocking services until your phone is certified
- Trying to disable Google Play Protect thinking that's the problem. Play Protect is part of the solution, not the cause
- Not backing up data before a factory reset and losing all contacts and messages
