New Android tool alerts users of potential web threats


The feature has appeared in beta software versions since last year.

Google is starting to roll out Android Safe Browsing, a new feature that appeared in beta software as early as October 2023 but was not officially announced. Since Android Safe Browsing is part of Google Play Services, users should not need to update their devices in order to see the feature. The SafetyNet Safe Browsing API helps apps figure out whether a website or link is malicious by cross-checking it against Google's databases.
