Check & fix Play Protect certification status

Devices that are Play Protect certified:

  • Include proprietary apps under license from Google.
  • Have passed Android compatibility testing.

Only Play Protect certified devices are eligible to include Google apps, like the Google Play Store app. If your device isn't Play Protect certified, Google doesn’t have a record of the device’s Android compatibility test results.

Tips:
  • Devices that aren't Play Protect certified may not be secure.
  • Devices that aren't Play Protect certified may not get Android system updates or app updates.
  • Google apps on devices that aren't Play Protect certified aren't licensed and aren't real Google apps.
  • Apps and features on devices without Play Protect certification may not work correctly.
  • Data on devices without Play Protect certification may not have a secure backup.

  1. Open the Google Play Store app Google Play.
  2. At the top right, tap the profile icon.
  3. Tap Settings.
