OthersAndroid 12 might feature its most extensive redesign in years, but it's not shying away from boosting user safety as well. The new Privacy Dashboard keeps all of your recent permissions displayed within a single interface, and both the microphone and camera can be completely disabled from all apps on your phone. Google is also changing how your clipboard transfers content between apps, with a new toast message displayed any time an app accesses copied text.
The system clipboard gained protections from background applications beginning in Android 10, but this latest update to your phone's security takes it a step further. When a foreground application reaches for your keyboard's copied data, you'll receive a new toast message with both app names displayed. This way, if a misbehaving app is trying to copy data from your device, you'll know as soon as it happens. You can check out a demo in the "What's new in Android" keynote below.
