Intriguing features seriously indicates Google’s security on Android 16

Google is taking the security at Android 16 seriously, and contains that it has begun to be followed within the code for applications related to the next version of its mobile operating system. Such a feature is referring as the intervention detection system, and has been found within the google Play Services application code, along with references to it on Android 16 according to an Android Authority report.

The name of the intervention detection system gives most of its functionality away. It collects data on the specific network and device activity, and stores them in a secure, encrypted register, ready for you to examine if you suspect your device or Google account has been hacked or achieved without your approval. It is not clear whether the feature will directly warn you of suspicious activity.

The data collected will include information on block screen activity, online browsing history, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connection information, application installations and activity through the USB port. While the average phone user probably will not have to worry too much about hackers who use their phones using these methods, anyone who uses their own business phone, or for businesses that place multiple Android phones for employees can see it invaluable.

Information collected from the intervention detection system will be stored in a Google Drive coded folder according to the Google Play Services Code, and requires both device block screen safety and your Google Account Password be entered before you get access to the decipher register.

If the intervention detection system becomes a final feature on Android 16, it may be part of the advanced Google protection program. Presented a few years ago, the advanced protection system is expected to acquire different new features on Android 16, including the ability to prevent 2G network access, and stronger methods to prevent the installation of unknown applications, which can again better protect the phones used for the business.

It is not certain that the intervention detection system will do it on Android 16, as Google can only be trying the function now, but it fits into the extended Android 16 security features that we already know. Google will reveal more about Android 16 on May 13 during a dedicated Android event, before its annual development conference, Google I/O on May 20.
