Download apps. Not traps

Can you tell a safe app from an unsafe app? It’s harder than you think. Behind promises of extra cash, discounts, and bonus content, digital danger may lurk—turning that app into a trap. Luckily, Play helps you avoid digital traps.
Safer apps
Play runs over 10,000 safety checks on every app it offers. And, we continually check all apps available on Play, so you can download safely.
Safer data
Google Play puts you in control of your Play data. We also give you visibility into how apps collect, share, and secure your data.
Safer payments
Play’s billing system ensures you can safely purchase digital products and subscriptions. Your payment information is securely stored and never shared with app developers. Additionally, purchase verification helps prevent unauthorized purchases.
