Google will keep Android users safe from unused apps




  • Google Play Protect will remove permissions for unused apps.
  • Developers can exempt their apps to preserve functionality.


Google is making a significant change to how Play Protect works, automatically removing permissions for unused apps.

According to Statista, 25% of apps downloaded by mobile users are only used once and never again. Unfortunately, with the sheer volume of permissions many apps require on installation, this can lead to significant privacy and security risks long term. Google is now addressing that with a Google Play Protect update that will remove permissions from apps that have gone unused for some time.
