Android is an operating system for mobile devices, with ongoing security and privacy improvements. Recent updates, including Android 15 and the upcoming Android 16, focus on narrowing the security gap with iOS, featuring enhanced data handling, permission management, and threat detection. Google is also pushing Android users towards the Play Store, potentially limiting sideloading. AI features are being integrated, with Google’s Gemini and Samsung’s Galaxy AI offering various capabilities. Some older Android devices are also receiving AI feature support.
