Supreme Court lets lower court order stand, forcing Google to open Android app market to rivals.
The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected Google’s request to block a lower court order requiring the company to make major changes to its Google Play Store, allowing reforms to proceed.
The decision upholds a 2023 jury verdict that found Google maintained an illegal monopoly by restricting app distribution and payment systems on Android.
The order, which will take effect in phases, requires Google to allow third-party app stores, let users install apps outside Play, and permit developers to use alternative payment methods.
Google argues the changes could harm security and user safety, but the Supreme Court’s refusal to intervene means the reforms stand during the ongoing appeal.
The case, brought by Epic Games and supported by the DOJ, could reshape app market competition.
