Google has enhanced Google Play Protect by introducing real-time protection for Pixel smartphones, allowing the detection of suspicious app behavior even after installation. Previously, Google Play Protect only scanned apps for malicious code during installation, leaving potential threats that activated later undetected. With the new real-time protection, if an app exhibits suspicious behavior—defined initially as the collection or processing of sensitive personal data—users will be alerted, and the app can be disabled. This feature utilizes AI support and operates locally on the device. The real-time protection is available immediately for Pixel smartphones starting from the Pixel 6, which is the first generation equipped with the Tensor SoC. Google has also announced plans to extend this feature to non-Pixel smartphones from various manufacturers, including Honor, Lenovo, Nothing, OnePlus, Oppo, Sharp, and Transsion in the coming months. This introduction of real-time threat detection is part of a broader set of security measures announced by Google earlier this year. Other features include 'private spaces' for app and information protection via PIN, remote locking capabilities, and a theft detection feature that recognizes if the phone has been snatched from the owner's hand.
