Google Play Store verifies government apps with a new badge
Google Play Store has started to show a government-verified badge for apps that are affiliated with the government. This badge helps users identify and trust the official apps that provide various government services and schemes.
The government-verified badge feature of the Google Play Store arrives with version 39.7.34. It appears next to the app name on the Google Play Store listing. It is rolling out gradually to provide the badge to all eligible apps.

Currently, the badge is available for apps in 12 countries, including India. Some apps like UMANG and ABHA have received the badge in India. However, Google has not disclosed the full list of eligible countries.
By verifying the government apps, Google aims to provide users with a more secure and reliable experience, especially to reduce fraud and spam on the Google Play Store.
