Google's app store is encountering an issue on Android devices that's hampering user experiences.

Android phones and tablets have encountered a ‘Google Play Store keeps stopping’ error message. That system warning usually appears when Android apps crash. However, Google Play is working normally as far as we can tell.

Google's new "Verified" is designed to highlight VPN apps that prioritize user privacy and safety. Here's how it works.

As previously stated, this Verified badge is rolling out for VPNs that are "trusted" for protecting your data. The post adds that VPNs (virtual private networks) like NordVPN, hide.me, and Aloha are among the first to have gone through the necessary hoops to demonstrate a higher level of security/safety.

Google has already announced a security-checking Google Play VPN badge system two times now, but it's here to announce it again.

Third-party validation for apps like VPNs is crucial for user safety. Google's new Verified badge in the Play Store ensures security for these apps. Specific criteria such as user reviews and encryption must be met for verification.
