Google has taken a formidable step in the ongoing battle against hackers who continually devise new methods to compromise Android devices. In a recent blog post, the tech giant unveiled a substantial enhancement to its Android Play Protect security feature.
According to the announcement, Google Play Protect will now conduct real-time code-level scans of apps to detect any signs of potentially malicious behavior. This advanced scanning method extracts critical information from the app and transmits it to the Play Protect backend infrastructure for a comprehensive code-level evaluation. Subsequently, users will receive a clear result indicating whether the app is safe to install or if the scan has identified potential harm.
