Google rolls out Live Threat Detection for Pixel, ‘coming soon’ on other phones

Google is rolling out a new feature that will help detect malware activity on your phone in real-time. Dubbed ‘Live Threat Detection’, the new functionality is currently available on Pixel 6 and later models, with Google confirming that it will be coming to non-Pixel devices like OnePlus, Samsung, Oppo and others in the “coming months”.

Announced earlier this year at the Google I/O, Google says the Play Protect feature works “to protect you in real-time from malware and unsafe apps.”
