Google introduces Advanced Protection mode for its most at-risk Android users

Google is introducing **Advanced Protection mode** for Android to bolster security against zero-day malware and sophisticated attacks. This feature, designed to combat threats like carrier-based infections and scammers using end-to-end platforms, will be available in the upcoming Android 16 release. While it offers enhanced safeguards, Google notes that performance may be impacted, suggesting its main use case for individuals or groups most at risk of infection, such as journalists.
