I’m an iPhone user and the Android security issues are being over hyped. Unfortunately Google doesn’t say privacy and security 100 times per keynote like Apple does. And like the video mentioned the moment there’s a security risk due to the Play services those issues literally aren’t even taken advantage of. And I personally don’t count people downloading or opening shady emails or pressing on links they don’t trust because that’s what I call user error. And people on iPhone does the same thing so you can’t blame the software security for that.

We were iPhone users as well, until this week. My wife's iPhone got hacked with no interaction from her. There were texts being sent from her phone with no notice of them on the phone. We got charged for photo and plain texts being sent. We googled the number being used and it is a known number that is being used for data scraping. Iphone security is a massive joke and a smoke and mirrors tactic by apple.

Incorrect, Android is more secure full stop. Android can be slightly more secure, to massively more secure if you use something like GrapheneOS. But Android has a more resilient proactive approach to security whereas Apple takes a more reactive approach patching issue as they become public.

I would have liked this video to mention something about kernel exploits. Android devices are almost always running older versions of Linux. Everything that was mentioned helps update the Android layer, but applications always have access to the kernel, and today I'm wholly dependent on the vendor to apply security patches to the source of their kernel. This is a slow and error-prone process. If a CVE is discovered in the kernel, and my device is no longer updated by the vendor, no amount of Google Play services or Android framework updates is going to fix it. This is the same with vendor firmware. Android has come a long way, and in the future generic kernel images might change the situation, but serious vulnerabilities can still remain unresolved once the vendor has stopped updating the device.

The fundamental problem with Android is that ROMs are not interchangeable. It should be possible to load the same Android ROM onto any common ARM SOC smartphone, which would mean all the manufacturers could work together on security and phones wouldn't need custom OS updates all the time, and phones wouldn't become obsolete after 3-4 years when it becomes infeasible to keep supporting that specific device. Addressing that issue and making it so any OEM's Android ISO can run on any other OEM's product is the key to streamlining security, functionality, and just giving users more control over their own device.

Stock Android is far more private than Apple with its mesh network tracking & AI data analysis.

To be honest they have improved over the year and still think android is far good

[@Riyozsu]

I will switch to android when the apps stop asking for billion permissions and google stops taking my data every 4 minutes. I don’t use social media other than KZbin but I like the ios option of ‘ask app not to track’. I don’t like my camera asking for the permission to access to location and my compass asking for camera and microphone. Also until they start giving 5-6 years of updates like apple, I have no need to buy an android.

Then flash your own android rom

I wonder what phone u guys use if u constantly been playing with phones from different worlds Do u bother telling me

[@chicitizen]

I recieve a monthly security patch from T-Mobile. So I'm not sure what these "people" are talking about.

[@ScottyJ1122]

The best way is to segregate the updates into 2 camps, Android Updates Android appi, then seperate Google Updates Google App. This way they are kept seperate and more like a clmputer which these devices are. You can do this by Containers 1 Container for Android and 1 for Google.

[@Oystein87]

Carriers don't touch the software updates here👌 Only one used to do it and I think they stopped to.

You could show an apple fan this videos and they would still wont believe it.

[@allenmobley8444]

Yeah because Tim Cook says “privacy and security” 100 times per keynote that so many iPhone users are pretty much brainwashed not to believe anything outside of what Apple tells them.

[@jaywright9635]

I'm an Apple fan. I see what's going on and believe it. I use both platforms. Although I'm new to Android. I like seeing the improvements in security and updates.

Gotta get away from Google. I don't like the new data sucking feature. Some of us absolutely refuse to be tethered at the wallet at all times. I used to enable internet and pay bills but now internet is always draining. 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

Android security in 2021 is .. okay. Fixing of bugs - That's another story. Some issues remain untackled and OEMs just wait till you get your new phone.
