Android p will prevent background apps from accessing the camera

With the passage of weeks we begin to know some details about Android P. The new version of the operating system will arrive this year. It seems that privacy is going to play a determining role in this new version. Something that can be affirmed thanks to one of the new functions that will arrive. This feature will block camera access to background applications.

Android P will prevent background apps from accessing the camera

When an application has a background time, it will not be able to access the camera. It is a function that will arrive in Android P and has been known thanks to the AOSP code.

Android P will protect the privacy of users

When an application is using the camera and stops for a while and runs out of the background, you will not be able to use the camera again. As soon as the app tries to reconnect to the camera, you will get an error message. So this access is blocked at the moment the application becomes background. A way to avoid that they can take photos or record the user.

This function in Android P seems designed to fight against malicious applications. Because these types of applications usually have access to the camera. So in this way they could not record or take photos of the user without his permission.

Without a doubt a function that promises to protect the security and privacy of users. It is one of the first features revealed in this version of the operating system. Although surely we will get to know more as the weeks go by.
