Just like the previous versions of Android, Google has been focusing on privacy a lot more than before. The Android 15 Developer Preview brings a new and improved Privacy Sandbox suite to the latest update. The update also brings better file integrity functionality that utilizes the « fs-verity » feature from the Linux kernel. Google claims that “with fs-verity, files can be protected by custom cryptographic signatures, helping you ensure they haven’t been tampered with or corrupted.
