Alan, an ardent smartphone enthusiast and a veteran writer at PhoneArena since 2009, has witnessed and chronicled the transformative years of mobile technology. Owning iconic phones from the original iPhone to the iPhone 11 Pro Max, he has seen smartphones evolve into a global phenomenon.

Google already scans 125 billion apps daily to protect Android users from malware. If it finds an app that might be problematic, Google Play Protect can send you a warning, prevent you from installing said app, or, if already installed, it can disable the app automatically. The bad guys have their own plan to evade detection by changing features on apps in third-party app stores to hide their true identity as malware.

For example, if you received a text that appeared to come from your bank about a large withdrawal that it is looking to verify, many would be tricked into clicking on a link, revealing pertinent account information and more due to the fear of getting ripped off. Ironically, in this case, the fear of getting ripped off could actually lead someone into getting, well, ripped off.

Google Play Protect aims to protect you outside of Google Play by checking your Android device for harmful apps regardless of where you installed them from. And Google has improved Play Protect starting this past week.

Google says,"Our security protections and machine learning algorithms learn from each app submitted to Google for review and we look at thousands of signals and compare app behavior. Google Play Protect is constantly improving with each identified app, allowing us to strengthen our protections for the entire Android ecosystem."
