Besides, digital well being is also getting upgrading with the enticing parental control app, namely Family links.

5. Privacy is no more second priority:

Apple has always bashed Google because of the level of privacy and security it offers. The android operating system is often considered as an unsecured platform.

And with the statement of Sundar Pichai (CEO of Google),

“privacy cannot be a luxury good.”
It seems that Google will be focusing more privacy measures in the all-new Android 10.

Android 10 will be enabling users to access single files rather than accessing all the data with the help of Scope storage. To put across, now you music player library will request for permission concerning the music and video libraries rather than accessing every library.
