Intrusion Logging is a new security feature in Android 16 that helps you determine if your phone has been compromised. Here's how it works.

TL;DR

  • Google announced Intrusion Logging, a new Android 16 feature to help high-risk users detect if their device has been compromised by hackers.
  • It securely backs up encrypted activity logs (like network info and app installs) to the cloud, accessible only to the user for forensic analysis.
  • The feature uses the new Intrusion Detection API, isn’t enabled by default, and requires activating Advanced Protection mode to use.

      You have bigger things to worry about if you are worried about google being an adversary while using a Google OS with play services and google apps.
