Privacy loophole closed — what Google didn't want you to...
Android 16 is patching a significant privacy flaw. The issue lies in how apps access your 'approximate' location. Google's intended this for features like weather apps. Now, it appears some apps could still pinpoint your exact whereabouts.
This fix is crucial for user privacy. Previously, even "approximate" location could be highly accurate. Imagine your phone's location being a secret, but it's not! This update aims to prevent that.
The updated system reportedly adds new safeguards. These prevent apps from inferring precise locations. This is a win for all Android users seeking better control.
This change impacts millions of Android device owners globally. It highlights Google's ongoing efforts in mobile security. Many are curious about the full extent of the previous vulnerability.
