    Google Play Protect: Keeping your Android phone and data secure

    Google Store (formerly Android Market) is a digital distribution service operated and developed by Google. It serves as the official app store for the Android operating system, allowing users to browse and download applications developed with the Android software development kit (SDK) and published through Google. Google Play also serves as a digital media store, offering music, magazines, books, movies, and television programs. It previously offered Google hardware devices for purchase until the introduction of a separate online hardware retailer, Google Store, on March 11, 2015.

    Google Play now protects your Android phone against malware, and will even help you find it. Your phone’s security is more important than ever, and Google knows it. The internet giant is launching Google Play Protect, a suite of services that helps you secure any Android device with Play Store access. The feature scans apps for threats (including relatively new risks, thanks to machine learning) and will either keep these rogue apps off of your device or remove them. It’s always updating, and its relatively high visibility (see the image above) promises greater transparency into the security of your Android gear.

    Protect will also help you if the worst happens and you lose your hardware. It includes Google’s existing Find My Device feature (fka Android Device Manager) that will let you pinpoint, ring, lock down or wipe your device, including Android Wear smartwatches.
