Android has more secure data encryption than apple

Apple phones have always been seen as more secure and private, compared to Android phones. Although it seems that the encryption of data from Google's operating system phones is better. Since the tools they use at the FBI to hack smartphones are less and less effective on Android phones.

Android has more secure data encryption than Apple's

Some phones with Google's operating system have been said to be more difficult to breach than iPhones, which for years have been seen as the most secure phone.

Security improvement

It has been shown how using a tool called UFED 4PC, which is used to access phone data, on a couple of iPhone models it has been possible to extract a large amount of information. They could have GPS data, messages, calls and even some data in applications such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Instagram or. A lot of data, therefore.

On the other hand, the Google Pixel 2 XL, Galaxy S9 and Huawei P20 Pro have been analyzed. No such data was obtained and the most interesting thing is that Huawei's phone was declared impossible to hack, no data could be obtained from it.

Therefore, Android devices seemed to be better prepared and protected against this type of hack and had greater data encryption. In part it may be that the operating system is more secure, at least in this specific case it is. But at least it seems to indicate that the operating system is moving in the right direction.
