\"android<\/span><\/p>\n

Google Play Protect<\/a>, a malware protection system that comes pre-installed on official Android devices, has blocked more than 1.9 billion malicious app installs that originated from unofficial (non-Google) sources in 2019, such as third-party app stores.<\/p>\n

The number is up from 1.6 billion, reported in 2017<\/a> and 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The rise in this number suggests two things. First is that Play Protect is better at detected and stopping malware than it was in previous years.<\/p>\n

Second, it can also mean that more Android users are being tricked into installing malware-infected apps from outside the Play Store, or are now using third-party app stores to get their apps as they’re being blocked from accessing the official store.<\/p>\n

Play Protect has improved in the past three years<\/h3>\n

The ability to detect scan and detect malware in non-Google app installs is a recent feature of the Android OS, one that was added in May 2017.<\/p>\n

Before that, users would often end-up installing malware-laced apps from third-party app stores, adult sites, online gambling sites, or various other sites.<\/p>\n

To counteract this rising trend, in May 2017, Google launched Play Protect as a new feature that they built right into the official Play Store app.<\/p>\n

\n<\/section>\n

In its current form, Play Protect has multiple features and functions, but it effectively works as a built-in antivirus program for Android devices that have received a certification to run official Google apps.<\/p>\n

By default, Play Protect will (1) scan all the apps installed on a device at regular intervals to make sure app updates don’t install malware behind a user’s back; (2) scan new app installs originating from the Play Store; but also (3) scan new app installs that originate from any third-party sources.<\/p>\n

In 2017, Google said Play Protect scanned 50 billion apps per day, a rate which it maintained throughout 2018 as well.<\/p>\n

However, in November 2018, Google added a major upgrade to the Play Protect service by enhancing its database of known malware (PHA, potentially harmful apps) samples.<\/p>\n

It did this by beginning to proactively scan the entire internet<\/a> for APK (Android app) files and index malicious apps, instead of passively waiting until users stumble upon a bad one, like it did before.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, Google says Play Protect’s daily scan rate has doubled. In a review of its Android security program<\/a>, published today on Safer Internet Day<\/a>, Google said that Play Protect now scans over 100 billion Android apps per day.<\/p>\n

The rise in daily scans equates to Android’s ever-growing userbase, but also to an improvement in device storage, allowing devices to store more apps than before.<\/p>\n

In the future, Play Protect’s ability to detect bad apps is expected to go up even higher than 1.9 billion. This is because the service got a major boost in November 2019 when Google joined efforts with ESET, Lookout, and Zimperium to create the App Defense Alliance<\/a>, a partnership to improve malware detections for the Play Store and Play Protect.<\/p>\n

Google said Play Protect currently runs on more than two billion Android devices.<\/p>\n
