Google reportedly ends business with Huawei that requires the transfer of hardware, software and technical services. Alphabet Inc’s Google blocks Huawei access to android updates after the U.S. government has sought to blacklist around the world. This act (Trump blacklist) is a huge blow to Chinese technology company Huawei, whose goal is to be the top smartphone company by the end of 2020.

People who currently holds Huawei smartphones with Google apps, however, will continue to be able to use and download app updates provided by Google, a Google spokesperson confirmed to the media.

“We are complying with the order and reviewing the implications,”

the Google spokesperson said.

Huawei will only be able to use the public version of Android and will not be able to access apps and services from Google.

“Google Play and the security protections from Google Play Protect will continue to function on existing Huawei devices,”

This suspension threatens Huawei’s supply chain business and could detain the rollout of 5G services around the world. But the biggest trouble for Huawei is what the decision means for future smartphone sales.

It is to be noted that most of Google’s popular products like Gmail, YouTube and Google Maps are fully banned in China, where smartphones company Huawei offers domestic alternatives like Tencent’s (TCEHY) WeChat and Baidu (BIDU) Maps.

Huawei has previously said it is developing its own backup operating system under the name “Hongmeng”, in case it was blocked from Google services.

Huawei has been building an alternative operating system just in case it is needed.

said Huawei spokesperson Glenn Schloss.

Google has always tried to give its customers the best possible experience and this is the reason the authorities are working o keeping malicious apps away from Google Play Store.

Google has now introduced this new feature under the name of ‘Google Play Protect’. This gives you a secure downloading experience.

Google Play Protect is a toe of scanner that scans all the apps that have been downloaded from the Google Play Store.

The best part is the check the feature keeps like the app is scrutinized before the download and the work does not end here. Google Play Protect feature further tracks and observes the app after short time intervals to prevent any harm to your data.

Initially the downloaded apps would get update. The self updating feature violates the terms of Google and thus a way was introduced to stop that. Now with the introduction of the new feature it is claimed that full privacy will be given and the security level is made high.

Google say,

“Users will also get notifications when a security issue is detected by the service.”

Stages have been introduced for the detection of bugs. The service will be running on all android devices using Google Play Services 11 and up.

You can avail the service by visiting the setting tab and choosing security menu in your Play Store.

The video has been shared below so that you can know how the feature works:

According to Google,

“All Android apps undergo rigorous security testing before appearing in the Google Play Store. We vet every app developer in Google Play and suspend those who violate our policies. So even before you download an app, you know it’s been checked and approved. Then, Play Protect scans billions of apps daily to make sure everything remains spot on.”

This is sort of Smartphone antivirus. So, enjoy the real and clean apps on you devices.
