We all look forward to Google this once and for all the final version of Android L (and if it is next to a Nexus the better). Today we know that the next update of Android not just bring a nice redesign Material Design. As stated by Niki Christoff, a spokesman for Google, told The Washington Post, Android L (or finally call) will include data encryption by default.
Android includes among Settings option to encrypt all data of the device, as we explained at the time, however, is a rather hidden settings and very few users who have activated. With Android L, this encryption will enabled by default and so only authorized users can access the files and documents stored on the smartphone or tablet.
news comes just hours after news that Apple will adopt a similar policy to encrypt all information devices iOS8 . This also affects the ability of the authority to request access to the data of specific persons, so far with a warrant they could get them, but once they are encrypted with these systems only the owner or those who know the credentials can access.
According to Google spokesman, spent months testing this new feature and will be one of the great advances of Android, which will satisfy the users concerned about their privacy, especially after meeting at the last time so many cases of espionage by agencies and countries. Just do not be automatic encryption for all.
The default bring new Android smartphones and tablets with L that will be launched and to update to this version, but as often happens with other improvements, this advance security does not reach millions and millions of current Android devices , you will not receive any updates that may be restricted only to manual encryption (if their owners know this feature)
