Android 16 Adds Advanced Protection for Mobile Devices

🔐Android 16 introduces a device-level Advanced Protection setting that applies Google's strongest security features to mobile devices. Designed for at-risk individuals—journalists, elected officials, public figures—and any user who prioritizes heightened security, the feature consolidates multiple protections and prevents their accidental or malicious disablement. It also enables Android-specific capabilities like Intrusion Logging, a tamper-resistant, privacy-preserving log backup for forensic analysis. Activation is simple, and Google plans to add USB protections, network auto-reconnect controls, and Scam Detection integration later this year.
