US district judge James Donato ordered Google to overhaul its mobile app practices to foster competition, allowing Android users greater freedom in downloading and paying for apps.
Donato's injunction mandates that for three years, Google must not prohibit alternative in-app payment methods and must allow downloads from competing third-party app platforms.
Epic Games' lawsuit accused Google of monopolizing app access and payment methods on Android, convincing a jury that they unlawfully stifled competition, resulting in a significant ruling.
The judge specified a timeline for compliance, stating that the injunction would take effect on November 1, 2023, allowing Google a period to adapt.
