Google is launching new security features with Android 16 aimed at improving user protection, particularly for high-risk groups such as journalists and officials. The Advanced Protection Program enables these features through a simple toggle activation, ensuring that they are robust and cannot be easily disabled. Key improvements include secure device logs, restrictions on risky actions during calls, and enhanced security for banking apps in collaboration with UK banks. Moreover, AI is utilized to filter scams and malicious activities, ensuring a safer user experience overall. These advancements build on existing security protocols to offer comprehensive protection.
With Android 16, users will have access to secure device logs that cannot be edited and can only be accessed by the user.
The best part is that all of the security features are activated once Advanced Protection is activated, which basically requires you to tap on a toggle to turn it on.
During a call, the system blocks risky actions that are easily exploited by scammers.
Google is working closely with UK banks for now such as Monzo, NatWest and Revolut.
