Google confesses it: android is already as safe as ios

Google's security regarding the Android operating system has always been questioned. But the truth is that although Google today has made it clear to us that Android is as safe as iOS right now, it's hard to believe it, for all the open doors they offer us in terms of rooting and installing APKs. However, fragmentation issues are being addressed and improvements in security are being noticed.

Android is already as safe as iPhone

The guys at Google, or rather, According to Ludwig, refers to this security if we buy Google Pixel with the iPhone. For an Android device to be as safe as an iPhone, it is important that it is updated to the latest version. Fragmentation issues do not help in the Android ecosystem.

Yes we could say then that Android 7.0 Nougat is as safe as iOS 10. Therefore Pixel is as secure as iPhone. But this does not mean that the rest of Android terminals are. Security measures will come in the future, when the fragmentation problems that we have today in Android are eliminated.

Safety Net, one of the great protagonists

Safety Net is the Android security system that searches for risks and scans apps and smartphones for malware. Today, the result is that less than 1% of scanned devices have malware installed. It's great news!

We could say that we are in a good moment and that we can finally say that Android, or at least Android Nougat, does measure up to iOS in security.

The guys from Android have put a lot of batteries, but the problems with the updates continue. It is a way of rewarding Google fans, who always buy Nexus and Pixel, so that they enjoy before an updated operation and its advantages, such as security.

Much remains to be done, but this is improving day after day. We will tell you here.
