Google Play Implements Enhanced Security Measures in 2024

/ 1 min read

🔒✨ Google Play enhances security measures to protect users and developers in 2024. In a bid to safeguard its vast ecosystem, Google Play implemented advanced AI for threat detection, preventing 2.36 million policy-violating apps and banning over 158,000 harmful developer accounts last year. The platform introduced new privacy policies, requiring apps to limit access to sensitive data and enhancing transparency about data handling. Google Play Protect now scans over 200 billion apps daily, identifying millions of malicious apps, while new fraud protection pilots have blocked over 36 million risky installations. Additionally, Google has introduced badges for verified government and secure VPN apps to help users identify trustworthy applications. The ongoing collaboration with industry partners aims to establish robust security standards for app development.
