It used to be that SafetyNet was “the terror of root”, the API responsible for detecting when a mobile has been changed and thus preventing certain apps from opening, but last year Google announced a more advanced replacement. Now you can easily check if your mobile passes this integrity testfrom Google Play.
From Google Play you could already check if your mobile was certified and now you can also check that Your mobile phone passes or fails Google’s integrity test
Is your mobile complete?
The Google Play Integrity API allows developers to prevent their apps or games from work on phones that have been modifiedusually for security reasons or, in the case of games, to avoid the use of cheats and hacks.
To do this, the API returns information indicating whether the application invoking it has been modified, whether the application’s user license is valid, and if the mobile in question is “genuine”. It is at this point that it most closely resembles the old SafetyNet. There’s an easy way to check it yourself: from Google Play’s developer options.
In other words, you will first have to activate the developer options. To do this, tap your profile picture, bring up the info panel, and repeatedly tap Play Store Version until you see a notice that Developer Options is already active.
Developer options are in another section of the settings. You will need to display the panel General
The process takes a few seconds and returns us text resultswhich makes sense since it’s a developer-focused option and not so much user-focused.
To pass the strictest test, you must receive MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY, which means it has passed even the most rigorous integrity tests. If you don’t have Magisk, root or something like that, this should be your result.
