What's new in Android: Android Q and Privcy

on YouTube ↗45m

" summary

Android Q enforces foreground-only location by adding an “allow only while using the app” grant, provides an in-app upgrade flow for background-location access, and requires apps to handle users revoking location at runtime. Storage moves to scoped storage: app-specific directories, media collections, and Downloads with access via the Storage Access Framework and ContentResolver (openFileDescriptor, pending flags). Background app launches are blocked (no background activity starts), device identifiers (IMEI/serial) and Wi‑Fi scans are restricted by target SDK, and new consent APIs cover cross‑app audio access.
