TL;DR

• Google?s Advanced Protection mode currently clubs several security features that users can?t opt out of individually, except for Intrusion Logging.
• We?ve now discovered that Google is preparing to move USB Protection, Intrusion Detection, and Unsecured Wi-Fi Networks into an optional ?Expert features? section.
• The change could give users more flexibility while retaining Advanced Protection?s strongest protections for those who want them.

Google introduced Advanced Protection with Android 16 as a way for users to enable some of the strongest security and privacy protections on their devices. The feature is designed to protect against everything from harmful apps and online attacks to unauthorized access and other security risks.
