- It appears that the advanced version of “Live Threat Detection,” a new feature of the Android security feature “Google Play Protect” previously announced on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, is set to begin rolling out to Android devices running “Android 17” and later.
- An analysis of the app files from the “Google Play Protect Service” app version C.7 for Android confirmed the addition of resource code related to “Dynamic signal monitoring,” a key feature of the advanced “Live Threat Detection,” as well as a dedicated icon.
- In the resource code indicating the initial state, “isPreferenceVisible=”false” is set, meaning it is still hidden.
On Tuesday, May 12, 2026, Google announced the evolved “Live Threat Detection” as a new privacy and security feature primarily introduced in the next-generation Android OS, “Android 17.”
“Live Threat Detection” is a feature within the Android security suite “Google Play Protect” where on-device AI analyzes the behavior of Android apps in real-time to protect users and devices from dangerous threats. As an evolved version of this “Live Threat Detection,” support for detecting behaviors such as apps externally forwarding SMS messages or overlay attacks on invisible content on the screen by abusing accessibility permissions was previewed as of May 2026.
The advanced “Live Threat Detection” introduces new technology to monitor interactions between apps and the system, dynamically responding to unknown threats by identifying known suspicious patterns in real-time, such as launching from the background with a hidden icon. However, it was previously announced that this evolved “Live Threat Detection” would be rolled out sequentially starting in late 2026.
However, it now appears that the advanced “Live Threat Detection” will soon begin rolling out to Android devices running “Android 17” and later. We bring you the details through our original app file analysis content, “App Analysis,” here on Jetstream.

An analysis of the app files from the “Google Play Protect Service” app version C.7 update released on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, confirmed the addition of resource code related to “Dynamic signal monitoring”—a core feature of the advanced “Live Threat Detection”—along with a dedicated icon. The featured image at the top of this article shows the “Dynamic signal monitoring” icon.
Furthermore, the resource code also reveals a new UI that will appear in the “Live Threat Detection” settings screen, as shown in the image below.

An official rollout is expected to begin via upcoming updates to the “Google Play Protect Service” app.
