In 2024, we continued to invest in various initiatives to safeguard our community and combat malicious actors, ensuring that billions of people can trust the apps they download from Google Play, while millions of developers can build thriving businesses.

The implementation of AI-powered threat detection, enhanced privacy policies, and improved tools for app developers has enabled us to block more malicious apps than ever from reaching users through the Play Store, thereby protecting people from harmful or malicious apps before they can cause any damage.
