"Purview DLP policy is not working as expected."

I am creating a DLP policy with the following configurations:

A new policy applied to devices was generated.

--SCOPE

Devices

--USERS

DLP_TEST

--A rule is created: DLP_TEST_APPSBLOCK

--THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS ARE ADDED

Document could not be scanned

Document did not complete analysis

File type is:

  • Word Processing
  • Spreadsheet
  • Presentation
  • Archive
  • Mail

File extension is:

  • py
  • txt
  • HTML

--THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS ARE ADDED

Application groups: DLP_TEST_APPS

Copy to clipboard: Block

Print: Block

Copy to USB: Block

Copy to shared network resource: Block

--APPLICATIONS NOT IN THE SHARED APPLICATION GROUPS

Configuration: Block with override

--NOTIFICATIONS

Use notifications to inform users and properly teach them about sensitive information: Enabled

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In restricted applications, even though I have blocked everything, it still allows me to attach documents from WhatsApp. Although it prevents copying or dragging, I can always upload documents, which should not happen.

 

This is just a test, but I would like to know what is happening and how I can solve it
