- An analysis of the in-app code from the version U.43.playstore.pixel3.823158033 update for the Android system app “Google Play Protect Service,” released around Monday, October 27, 2025, has revealed the addition of code related to a new “Live threat detection” settings page.
- A dedicated settings page for “Live threat detection” may be added to Google Pixel devices in the future.
- Incidentally, the introduction of “Live threat detection” was also announced from the outset for Android devices from manufacturers such as Honor, Lenovo, Nothing, OnePlus, Oppo, Sharp, and Transsion.
Google Pixel devices from the “Pixel 6” onwards are equipped with “Live threat detection,” a security upgrade feature for “Google Play Protect” that enhances the detection of malicious apps through on-device AI.
This “Live threat detection” is a security upgrade feature for Google Pixel devices that was implemented starting in November 2024. It analyzes in real-time how each installed app uses sensitive permissions and interacts with other apps, detecting those with suspicious behavior. However, as a security feature integrated within “Google Play Protect,” there is currently no specific settings page for “Live threat detection.”
