Android 16 now includes extended protection protocols that activates many safety functions. More than ten functions can be turned on with one press, with expansion plans. This was told by an authoritative insider, observer of the Android Authority portal Mishaal Rahman.
This year there will be a “USB protection” that prevents attacks through a USB port. The function turns off the wired charging, including the devices of fast charging, during a new connection, while the device is blocked. The function can affect the fast charging due to the use of selected data exchange lines.
And in order to activate the function of fast charging with this function, you have to unlock the smartphone. When connecting the device to the charging device via cable, a message may appear on the screen about the need to unlock the device. It is recommended to keep the device unlocked throughout the charging process.
In addition, in the latest version of Android Canary Google changed the implementation of USB protection, adding the “Disable Sound” button in the notice.
