It’s been just about two weeks since Google launched Android 16, and for the most part, it’s an update that came and went without too much fanfare. I’ve been playing around with Android 16 on my Pixel 9a since the update was released, but it wasn’t until a few days ago that I finally enabled Advanced Protection — a new security feature tucked away in the Settings app.
Advanced Protection enables a load of robust security features for your phone with the flick of a switch, including safeguards for your phone’s web browsing, network connection, and more.
