Google I/O 2021: All Privacy, Security Features Coming to Android, Search and More

Google I/O 2021 has begun, and the introductory keynote was hosted last night. Android: Privacy dashboard, indicators, Private Compute Core Google’s big privacy move with Android 12 is a ‘Privacy Dashboard’. A more significant new feature is the Android Privacy Compute Core, which is a localised sector within a phone that is cut off from network access, and serves as the seat for Google’s localised machine learning abilities. In terms of privacy, Search now has a shortcut tool that you can tap your Google account image on the Google app or in your account settings on your Android phone, to access. Google continues to promise that anonymising user data is enough privacy for now, and will premiere it by offering differential privacy based data to Google Play Store developers.
