There is great expectation for Android 16the new version of Google’s operating system expected for 2025.
In fact, enormous steps forward are predicted with regards to the delicate area of safety and the protection of data contained in the devices used by users. According to some recently released leaks, in fact, the new Advanced Protection will make the difference, designed to guarantee the highest level of security and capable of counteracting malicious apps and phishing attempts. Not only that. The new one features it will also allow you to combat sideloading – the phenomenon of data transfer between two devices – as well as alerting you if an app has not obtained Google approval.
The safest ever
Basically, in the IT and tech sector there are already rumors that this Android 16 will be the most secure ever seen. In addition to the elements presented, one will also be improved and increased in the OS Application programming interface (API) which will allow applications to change behavior in case the system Advanced Protection is activated in the presence of any suspicious element. To give an example, apps linked to banks or other payment/money management systems could ask for further authentication, increasing the level of security, in the event that Advanced Protection is operational.
It is excluded that this new function may also concern Android 15. To have this increase in level of protectiontherefore, we will have to wait for the launch of Android 16. According to the latest information released by those in the sector, the first betas should begin to be available starting from the second half of 2025.
Arriving early
Recently, some dates have also been hypothesized for the launch of the new Android 16. There is talk of April/June 2025. News that, if true, would slightly change Google’s launch methods. Usually, in fact, operating systems were released in September.
This advance could be due to a greater speed of other competing companies such as Qualcomm and MediaTek, which are literally racing with the proposal of their processors. Google, therefore, may have felt the need to align with the times.
