Google has announced that it rejected 55% more Android submissions in 2018 than in 2017, and that it will continue to strengthen its review process and developer policies to fight bad actors.
As a measure to protect its customers from potential malware attacks, Google has introduced Play Protect, announcing that future 'certified' devices will carry the logo on their retail packaging.
After its announcement at Google I/O in May, Play Protect is now rolling out to Android devices running the latest version of Play Services to help make security more visible and accessible to users.
