Apple’s relentless push for better privacy and security features for iPhone has forced Google to follow suit. Google has been ramping up its own efforts to improve the privacy and security of Android devices starting on Android 10, and the company plans additional features for the upcoming Android 12 update. Some of these new privacy features leaked in the days leading up to the first Android 12 developer beta. Now that the Developer Preview release is available, developers have been able to confirm that the leak was accurate.
Android 12 will tell users if an app has access to the camera or microphone, which could help them figure out if an app might be spying on them. The feature is already available on iPhone and iPad, as Apple introduced it last year with the iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 updates.
