Google starts enforcing Android app restrictions
Google has launched a new verification system for Android app developers aimed at reducing fraud and malicious applications. Users are now required to activate a specific setting and wait 24 hours before installing an app from a developer not registered with Google. This is part of a plan to expand restrictions on installing apps from sources outside the official app store, initially rolling out in four countries—Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand—with a broader global rollout expected by 2027. The system’s goal is to verify developer identities and minimize fraud through pre-approval checks, with plans to extend verification to apps from external stores and authorized devices, without completely banning installations from outside sources.
