Pixel Phones Will Be Able to Detect and Report Malicious Apps in Real Time

Google has introduced a new Live Threat Detection feature in Google Play Protect, now rolling out to Pixel 6 and newer models. This feature uses on-device AI to identify and alert users in real-time about malicious apps that collect personal data without consent. Initially focusing on apps that collect personal data without user consent, Google plans to expand its detection capabilities to other types of harmful apps in the future. This could be very beneficial to help users protect their information and to improve cybersecurity on mobile devices.
