You have been warned — stop this now.
Advanced Protection Modeis just for “the very few individuals who, because of who they are or what they do, might be personally targeted by some of the most sophisticated digital threats.”Apple says “most people will never be targeted by attacks of this nature.” But Google’s Advanced Protection Mode is different.
I highly recommend all users enable Advanced Protection after upgrading to Android 16. It enables almost all Android’s existing safeguards and prevents them from being disabled. These include theft protection, safe browsing, new scam defenses and auto-blocking unsafe networks and cables. Plus Play Protect, of course.
This is long overdue for the vast majority of Android users, who are tempted or lured into direct installs or links to third-party stores, installing dangerous, un-filtered apps onto their phones. Once Google flags a risk, it is added to Play Protect but in that interim period, vast numbers of Android users are put at risk.You should enable Advanced Protection Mode, but even ahead of upgrading to Android 16 you should stop downloading any apps from outside official stores.
