Increased privacy protection.

Android 12 (Go edition) will provide you greater control over which applications have access to your data and more transparency over how much private data they may access. We’re doing this by introducing a new privacy dashboard. You’ll see a snapshot of apps that access particular types of sensitive data, like the microphone, and revoke permissions if necessary. And the new privacy indicator on the status bar will let you know when your apps are specifically accessing the microphone or camera.

We also give you more control over how much information you share with apps. With the new coarse location permissions, you can restrict apps to only seeing your approximate location instead of a specific location. If you limit your weather app to your approximate location, for example, you will always receive an accurate prediction. Take advantage of these upcoming features and look  for new devices to launch with Android 12 (Go edition) in 2022.
