Alphabet Inc.’s Google is bolstering security features in the latest version of Android, the world’s most popular mobile operating system, which it previewed at the company’s annual developer conference.
Android 15 will add capabilities to deter theft and better protect users against fraud, scams and various other attacks that could compromise data on a device, the company said Wednesday at Google I/O in Mountain View, California. There’ll also be a new so-called private space to secure sensitive information and ways to remotely lock devices, including ones that have been taken offline.
