Google is preparing to release another security feature for Android devices, called Google Play Protect.
Google Play Protect will be part of the Google Play Store application and will use engineering app analysis learning to eliminate the dangerous and malicious apps we often find in our store.
When Google Play Protect adapts to the Google Play Store, users will not need to install or enable this security feature separately.
Google Play Protect is a service that will always be available and according to the company it detects 50 billion applications a day on one million Android devices.
Google has already implemented some security measures to keep your smartphones safe, like the service Verify Apps like the Bouncer service. But once apps are uploaded to the Play Store and installed on your device, Google has nothing to monitor the behavior of those apps, which malicious app developers know and exploit.
So with an automatic run in the background, Google Play Protect will analyze your devices and their apps. It should be mentioned that the new security feature will not only analyze apps before they appear in the Play Store but will also monitor them once they are installed on the device, as well as apps installed from stores third parties.
For this reason, Google uses engineering learning algorithms, which automatically compare the behavior of applications and distinguish those that work abnormally. If it encounters a malicious application, it will alert you or even immediately turn off the application to prevent further malfunctions.
Google says the service will run around the clock to protect even the latest threats.
With Google Play Protect running, Android Device Manager will be replaced with Find My Device, which is used to find lost devices.
You will be able to use it Browser or any other device to call, locate, remotely lock your device or even wipe data to protect your sensitive information remotely.
Device Finder is the same old app, but Google has included it in the new Google Play Protect program.
With Safe Browsing on Chrome, Play Protect will allow users to stay safe while browsing the Internet.
Usually, viruses, the malware and worms enter your smartphones and computers through malicious web browsers. Therefore, if you visit any webσελίδα If it works suspiciously, Safe Browsing will alert you and block any pages that appear to be infringing or do not appear to be safe.
The Google Play Protect service will be released on Android devices in the coming weeks.
Finally something interesting from Google in this area. At least that's how it looks now, let's see!
