Google Play Protect, the service that Google uses to scan apps installed on users’ phones, is more powerful than previously thought, Google revealed today.
“Play Protect analyzes every app that it can find on the internet,” the company said in a blog post that detailed how it uses machine learning to detect malicious apps.
This is a new revelation into how Google Play Protect works. Google launched this service in May 2017, as a replacement for the old Verify Apps system.
