Google Banned More than 23 Lakh Dangerous Apps From Play Store, BSNL, Reliance Jio

American technology company Google has banned more than 23 million dangerous apps from Google Play Store last year. Google has said that along with this, more than 1,58,000 developers have also been banned. Dangerous apps were being published with the accounts of these developers.

Google has stated in a blog post that the company has started using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to identify the danger. Human reviewers from AI have helped capture malware and spyware in 92 percent of cases of violations. This has increased the speed of review and increased accuracy. Google Told that more than 91 percent of apps installed on Play Store use the new security features of Android 13.

Last year, Google made some updates in its free anti -virus app Play Protect. This may increase accuracy in identifying the company’s dangerous apps. Google claims that more than 200 billion apps per day are scanned from Play Protect. The company has said that last year about one crore devices were saved from more than 3.6 crore dangerous installation efforts.
