Android 16's Advanced Protection mode is almost ready for prime time

Since October last year, we've known about Google's plans to bring an Advanced Protection mode to Android 16. This is supposed to be an extension of the Advanced Protection Program that lets individuals apply additional safeguards to their Google accounts from threats of hacking. But the version debuting with Android 16 takes it further by making Advanced Protection features accessible to everybody with the help of a simple toggle in the Settings. We're now getting a good look at this new menu that could likely appear with Android 16.
