Fake KYC calls, clicking on the link by clicking on the link, the incidents of stealing money and fishing attacks through WhatsApp or SMS have become common. In such a situation, this initiative of Google is a big and necessary step to keep Indian users online.

Which apps will be part of this initiative?

Google reported that many popular financial and payment apps such as phones, Paytm and Bajaj Finserv will be part of this charter. These companies will add additional safety and transparency features to their platforms to make the experience more secure for users.

Google will soon tag “Safety Verified” to those apps on the Play Store, which will follow this safety charter. Users have been advised to check the information about its rating, download number and permission sought before downloading any app. Also, it will be necessary to take the safety notification from Google seriously.

Through this new initiative, users will be able to rely on apps that meet Google’s safety standards. This will ensure their personal information and safety of money. Also, it will be easy to identify fake and fraud -making apps, which will give users a more secure experience on the Internet.
