Google has been secretly working on a new super-secure mode for Android that's inspired by Apple's iPhone Lockdown Mode.
According to a placeholder documentation page and based on analysis of Android beta images, the new feature is named the Android Advanced Protection Mode (AAPM).
Just like Lockdown Mode, the AAPM is not intended for regular Android users and was specifically designed for high-risk individuals who may face threats from oppressive regimes, advanced spyware, and rogue network surveillance attacks.
