Android P Prevent Camera Hijacked Applications

Hacking mechanism via camera and microphone cameras creates a fear for the community, though rarely found. Google seems to have a solution via the Android operating system P is scheduled for release this mid-year.

The latest code found showing Android P will prevent silent apps using smartphone cameras and microphones without the user's knowledge.

If any programs are not actively trying to use the camera, Android P will stop it and send an error message to the user as a notification. This mechanism is different from the prevention of the microphone sector.

Android P can still be deceived for silent audio recording, only the data will be emptied if the application or program is inactive. In other words, the silent audio recording effort is useless.

So far is still a little leaked information about Android P, in addition to the name mentioned will refer to the name of ice cream-covered ice cream "Pistachio Ice Cream", as compiled KompasTekno, Thursday (22/2/2018), from Engadget.

Some sources in brags Android P will put forward more protection against user privacy. The hackers and unscrupulous person will be more difficult to break the security system on the user's Android smartphone.

But of course this rumor has not been approved by Google. Let's wait until Android P is completely released, usually coinciding with the Google I / O developer party in Mountain View, USA.
