Google has announced that it is updating Google Play Protect to support real-time scanning, this new feature is designed to protect users from malware on their devices when they sideload apps onto their Android devices.
Expanding on the capabilities of Google Play Protect, today marks the introduction of an advanced real-time scanning feature that delves into the code-level, aiming to thwart the threats posed by newly crafted malicious applications.
Now, when users attempt to install apps that haven’t previously undergone any scanning, Google Play Protect will suggest a real-time app inspection to identify and counteract emerging digital hazards.
This scanning process is meticulously designed to capture crucial data points from the application, which are then relayed to the Play Protect backend system for a thorough examination at the code tier.
