Your Android phone’s most powerful security feature is hidden and off by default - turn it on now [Advanced Protection] www.zdnet.com/article/y…

The most important change [in Android 16] is Advanced Protection. It’s a one-tap mode that enables Google’s strongest security and privacy features. Instead of hunting through many menus to secure your phone, you now have a quick way to lock down your device and better protect yourself against theft, unsafe apps, insecure networks, scams, and spam.

It’s like Google’s version of Apple’s Lockdown Mode. But it isn’t turned on by default, since it enforces stricter safeguards that can occasionally cause friction. While there may be some trade-offs, Advanced Protection is for those who care about security and want to keep their phone ultra protected.
