TL;DR

  • Google announced Intrusion Logging, a new Android 16 feature to help high-risk users detect if their device has been compromised by hackers.
  • It securely backs up encrypted activity logs (like network info and app installs) to the cloud, accessible only to the user for forensic analysis.
  • The feature uses the new Intrusion Detection API, isn’t enabled by default, and requires activating Advanced Protection mode to use.

AOSP is open, Googles additions on top of that are not.
