Android 16 can warn you if a fake cell tower is trying to spy on you

TL;DR Android 16 is adding a new security feature to warn you when your phone connects to a fake or insecure mobile network known as a “stingray.” This feature alerts you to unencrypted connections or when the network requests your phone’s identifiers, which helps protect against surveillance.

If you ask a friend or family member what an Xbox is, the response is likely going to be “it’s a game console.” Xbox is ingrained in popular culture as a box under your TV that you play games on, but Microsoft’s ads over the past six months have been attempting to redefine the Xbox as a
