Overview
- Clues in a recent Google Play Services build, surfaced by tipster AssembleDebug and reported by Android Authority and Android Central, point to a toggleable setting under Advanced Protections.
- Leaked screenshots indicate the logs would capture device connections, app installations, the last screen unlock time, some browsing history, and other activity.
- Reports say logs are encrypted, stored on Google Cloud, and retrievable only with the user’s Google account plus lock‑screen credentials.
- Code references suggest users could be connected to a trusted expert for help if suspicious activity is detected on their device.
- Google has not announced a release, and coverage suggests it may arrive in a future Android 16 QPR for Pixel devices following QPR3 Beta 2, though timing remains unconfirmed.
