Alphabet Inc.’s Google won’t have to immediately revamp its Google Play store policies, after a federal judge in California temporarily paused his order that would have forced the technology giant to overhaul its app marketplace.

Google said on Friday that a federal judge in California granted its request to pause his order directing the Alphabet unit to overhaul its Android app store Play by Nov. 1 to give consumers more choice over how they download software.

Google says that opening up its Play Store to third-party app stores "harms safety and privacy" and "puts users at risk."

Google has asked a U.S. appeals court to block a judge’s order requiring the Alphabet unit to redesign its app store Play, as the tech giant prepares for what could be a lengthy appeal in its antitrust battle with "Fortnite" maker Epic Games.

A federal judge in California has granted Google's request to temporarily halt his previous order, which required the company to revamp its Play Store by November 1, allowing users more options for downloading software.

Google has requested more time to implement changes mandated by a judge's ruling in its trial involving Epic Games. The company says the rush to introduce third-party app stores into Google Play raises safety and privacy risks for 100+ million US Android users.
