Googleis preparing a new major security update for allAndroidsmartphones that is set to significantly improve user privacy on the devices.
The new update will be introduced under Google’s Privacy Sandbox which will look to remove the “advertising ID” that is currently assigned to eachAndroiddevice in favour of a new targeting mechanism. The multi-year goal is to remove ad tracking, something that has become more and more of a concern with how Google handles data.
Google previously made it so anyone could opt out of having a unique identifier, in another attempt to help with privacy.
“Our goal with the Privacy Sandbox on Android is to develop effective and privacy enhancing advertising solutions, where users know their information is protected, and developers and businesses have the tools to succeed on mobile. While we design, build and test these new solutions, we plan to support existing ads platform features for at least two years, and we intend to provide substantial notice ahead of any future changes.”
