Google will force to give the security patches

Due to the fragmentation that exists in Android today, many security patches do not reach the phones. Something that leaves many users unprotected. This especially happens with small manufacturers. But Google wants this to stop happening, that's why, in this year's Google I / O they have announced some measures in this regard.

Google will force to sign contracts

For this, the company announces that they are going to force manufacturers to sign contracts. In these contracts it will be shown that said manufacturer agrees to give its users the security patches in a certain time. So that they will be protected at all times from threats. One step to ensure the safety of Android users.

In addition, Google also comments that they will make it easier for these manufacturers to obtain security updates. So the process would be simpler and so there is more chance that the update will be obtained.

They are positive changes that seek to ensure that Android users are protected from threats. It seems that these changes should come with Android P in late summer. Although a specific date for this has not been commented. Surely more will be revealed in the coming weeks. What do you think of these measures by the company?
