After years of development, Android’s security and privacy system has transformed from the initial “one size fits all” to more refined control. However, compared to obvious privacy measures such as Application Tracking Transparency (ATT) in the iOS 14.5 system, the privacy improvements of the Android camp seem less obvious. In the upcoming Android 12 system, Google will take further measures to improve privacy control.
At present, the permission system in the Android system is very powerful, allowing users to grant and revoke access to specific functions of a certain application. However, due to the scattered settings in the Android system, it is not easy for users to find these settings. In the Information report, Google will make adjustments in this regard. However, relative to Apple’s aggressiveness, Google’s adjustments seem a bit pediatric.

First of all, Google hopes to establish a corporate image that focuses on user privacy, especially considering that Google’s reputation in this area is not very good; on the other hand, Google does not hope that these measures will affect the company’s advertising business, especially its own Advertising business. According to the report, Google will show the new Android privacy control at this week’s I/O conference. It’s just that these privacy settings have existed since the beginning, and Google just made adjustments to make it easier for users to access it.
In addition to optimizing privacy control, Android 12 has an indicator when an application accesses the phone’s camera or microphone, just like when using GPS. These indicators are something that iOS already has, and some people might portray it as Android just catching up. But anyway, it’s better to be late than never.
