How Google protects you from dangerous apps: Top Play Protect features on Android
Google Play is the go-to source for downloading apps on Android. This protection extends beyond apps downloaded from the Google Play Store and also covers apps installed from external sources, including sideloaded apps. Google recently revealed in a blog post that Play Protect now scans more than 200 billion apps daily across devices and performs real-time scanning at a code level to detect threats like polymorphic malware. Over the years, it has strengthened Play Protect with several new security advancements across Android devices through Google Play services. Play Protect Features Features include reminder notifications in Chrome on Android to prompt users to re-enable Play Protect if it has been disabled, additional protection against social engineering attacks to prevent cybercriminals from tricking users into disabling Play Protect services, and automatic revocation of app permissions for potentially dangerous apps.
