Dis decision come from US federal judge James Donato on Friday, October 18, 2024. Judge Donato decide say Google no need rush to implement de changes wey Epic Games, de company wey make Fortnite, demand.
Epic Games been fight Google say dem dey use their power to control app store market, and dem say dis dey against de law. But Google happy with de judge decision because dem believe say de changes wey Epic Games want go affect de safety and security of Google Play Store.
For now, Google no go allow other app stores to be pre-installed on Android phones until dem finish appeal de case. Dis mean say Google go continue to control how apps dey installed on Android phones for some time.
