Google is developing an Intrusion Detection system for Android 16, revealed through a Play Services app teardown. This system will log device and network activities, including browsing history and app installs, which are end-to-end encrypted and stored in a private, encrypted Google Drive. Access requires the user's Google account password and device authentication. The feature is linked to Android 16's Advanced Protection Mode, enhancing overall device security. While promising, its availability on older Android versions remains uncertain.
