Here’s how Android 16’s Advanced Protection Mode secures your phone and data (APK teardown)
Android security is about to get tougher to crack with the new Advanced Protection Mode in Android 16.
- Android 16 will have a new one-click toggle for Advanced Protection Mode, which enables more secure protections across the OS and even with apps.
- These settings cannot be adjusted, helping ensure a consistent security level.
- Some first-party apps like Google Messages and Phone by Google have Advanced Protection Mode settings, and more apps can too once the API is enabled.
These days, there’s no such thing as too much protection. People have their entire lives on their smartphones, and that means a lot of sensitive information and data too. Thankfully, a lot of phones have implemented some kind of security measures to keep your info safe, and Google’s taking it one step further with Android 16’s Advanced Protection Mode.
