It also provides blocked and approved lists to block or allow certain URLs. Mobile Security will block all the URLs that you add in the Blocked List, and allow all URLs that are in the Approved List.
The Web threat protection policy only supports Google Chrome and Android’s default Web browser on mobile devices.
