With the release of Android 16, Google introduced 'Advanced Protection,' a security feature aimed at safeguarding at-risk individuals such as journalists and activists. Mirroring aspects of Apple's security initiatives, it enhances device protection by automatically enabling critical security features, restricting disabling existing safeguards, and providing new protections against digital threats. Key capabilities include enabling HTTPS for Chrome, activating theft detection, and enhancing spam protection in Messages. This one-tap activation is designed to make comprehensive security more accessible for users concerned about their digital safety.
Advanced Protection for Android is designed for at-risk individuals, providing enhanced security features that isolate data, minimize contact with unsecure websites, and strengthen privacy measures.
This feature activates theft detection, forces Chrome to use HTTPS, enables scam protection in Messages, and restricts certain cellular networks to defend against hackers.
