The Play Integrity API helps developers “check that interactions and server requests are coming from your genuine app binary running on a genuine Android device.” It can help applications detect fraud, bots, cheating, and data theft. Google notes that apps using Play Integrity “have seen 80% less unauthorized usage on average compared to other apps.”

Google is now updating the Play Integrity API to be “faster, more reliable, and more private” on devices running Android 13 and newer.
