Google also said it would make it easier to download apps on Android devices from sources other than its Play Store.
The tech giant was also accused of overcharging customers through unnecessary fees for in-app transactions.
The settlement proposed that Google should pay $630m into a fund for consumers and $70m into a fund that will be used by states.
These funds are pending final legal approval.
Eligible customers will receive at least $2 and may be able to receive additional payments based on their spending patterns on Google Play between August 2016 and September 2023.
