Android and Google service mitigations This is a summary of the mitigations provided by the Android security platform and service protections such as Google Play Protect.
Exploitation for many issues on Android is made more difficult by enhancements in newer versions of the Android platform. We encourage all users to update to the latest version of Android where possible. The Android security team actively monitors for abuse through Google Play Protect and warns users about Potentially Harmful Applications.
Google Play Protect is enabled by default on devices with Google Mobile Services , and is especially important for users who install apps from outside of Google Play. To activate Android 9's new lockdown mode, you first have to go into the Security section of your system settings. Tap the option labeled "Lock screen preferences," then activate the toggle next to "Show lockdown option. And with that, you've got the legwork finished.
That wasn't so bad, right? Now all that's left is to figure out how to use the thing — and that part isn't entirely obvious, either. Here's the trick: While on your lock screen, press and hold your phone's power button for a second or two. That'll pull up the standard menu with options for restarting and shutting down your device — but once you have lockdown mode enabled, that same menu will also include a new option labeled yup, you guessed it "Lockdown.
Go ahead and give it a try now. Don't worry, nothing scary will happen; in fact, if you aren't watching closely, nothing at all will seem to happen — but under the surface, Android will shut down all biometric and Smart Lock security features and also hide any notifications from your lock screen.
Only your pattern, PIN, or password will be able to get you into the device. And that heightened level of protection will last until you next unlock your phone. Even if you restart the device, in fact, your pattern, PIN, or password will be required — as it always the case with a fresh boot.
Now you know. And now you can rest easy knowing you'll be ready if the unlikely need for added protection ever arises.
