Google has been gradually expanding the reach of Play Protect, which now flags apps whether or not they come from its Play Store, can stop users updating apps from outside Play Store, and will soon monitor for potentially dangerous behaviors including permission abuse before an app has been more formally flagged.

Can you believe it's been sixteen years since Google gave you a way to browse, buy, and download apps on your Android phone?

Judge James Donato, who had previously ruled that Googles Android app store constituted an illegal monopoly, agreed to push back the deadline for enforcing significant changes to its rules. This delay will give time for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to review Googles request for a longer-term stay.

Google has moved for an emergency stay on the Epic judgment, as the Court gave just three weeks to make sweeping changes to the Play Store.
