Android 16's new Intrusion Logging feature helps detect if your phone was hacked
TL;DR
- Google announced Intrusion Logging, a new Android 16 feature to help high-risk users detect if their device has been compromised by hackers.
- It securely backs up encrypted activity logs (like network info and app installs) to the cloud, accessible only to the user for forensic analysis.
- The feature uses the new Intrusion Detection API, isn’t enabled by default, and requires activating Advanced Protection mode to use.
Neat, but one needs to also trust that google isn't an adversary
You have bigger things to worry about if you are worried about google being an adversary while using a Google OS with play services and google apps.
Except it takes effort to get an OS without Google Spyware.
And regular, everyday people have been targeted by police because of Google.
Android is supposed to be a (mostly) open-source OS. Users shouldn't have to worry about Google.
