Don’t you just wish there was a way to determine whether an app is legit or not? Fortunately, apps made by state and federal governments are now getting an official badge from the Google Play Store.
By adding a badge to these apps, users can determine whether or not the app they are downloading is from an official government agency. Google says that once they roll out these badges, it will be available on over 3000 government apps created from 12 different countries, including the following:
Australia
Canada
Germany
France
United Kingdom
Japan
South Korea
United States
Brazil
Indonesia
India
Mexico
The badge comes with a building icon and the word “Government” below it. Once you open one of these apps, the badge can also be found on the rating section. You can also open the badge and it will give you a message that reads:
“Official government - Play verified this app is affiliated with a government entity.”
Google previously announced that they are working on this feature back in November 2023. Ever since then, Google tested out the feature with a small number of users. Today’s news makes this feature available to everyone.
