Android also requires that every app in the Google Play store lists what kind of information the app wants to collect or access from your device, so that you can decide whether you trust the app or not. We also automatically scan Google Play to block and remove harmful apps, and for some Android phones, our Google Application Verifying Service will check for potentially harmful applications no matter where you are installing them from. So, if you install applications from unknown sources like the web or a third-party app store, this free service will provide you with another layer of security.
Android pia huhitaji kila programu katika duka la Google Play kuorodhesha aina ya maelezo ambayo programu inataka kukusanya au kufikia kutoka kwa kifaa chako, ili uweze kuamua ikiwa unaiamini hiyo programu au la. Pia tunachanganua Google Play otomatiki ili kuzuia and kuondoa programu zenye madhara, na kwa baadhi ya simu za Android, Huduma yetu ya Uthibitishaji wa Programu za Google itachunguza kuona programu zinazoweza kuleta madhara bila kujali unazisakinisha kutoka wapi. Hivyo, ikiwa utasakinisha programu kutoka vyanzo visivyojulikana kama vile tovuti au duka la programu la mwingine, huduma hii isiyolipiwa itakupa safu nyingine ya ulinzi.
