Android’s Privacy Boost: Google Unveils ‘Private Spaces’ Feature to Safeguard Photos and Data

There is no doubt that it is not a whole new thing to want to keep certain apps, data, and images on users’ phones private, but there still has not been a complete solution to keeping everything secure. 

The ability to secure photos privately is available through several apps on the market. 

There is a possibility to hide individual apps, Google Files offers a “Save folder”, and Google Photos allows users to create a locked folder that is only accessible by using the device’s default screen locking method, and it is not backed up to the cloud. Google, however, is now attempting to develop a way of doing the same thing within the Android operating system in its way.  

It has not always been easy to pair Android with privacy, because they do not go together naturally. The majority of Google’s profits still come from its data-based advertising business, a business which heavily relies on user data, much of which is derived directly from Android users and is a major contributor to its profits. 

Currently, Google’s Android-related data is protected with several security features and privacy protections that enable users to take more control over how and when Google taps into the data they control.

There is a growing need for comprehensive solutions that would keep the data, apps, and photos of Android users safe and secure for a long time.
