Substantial improvements to the security of Android over the past few years have brought it to a level where it is now being considered to provide security comparable to iPhones.
Todays release of #
Android10 introduces more security improvements
#^https://security.googleblog.com/2019/05/queue-hardening-enhancements.htmlTheres also many Privacy improvements
#^https://developer.android.com/about/versions/10/privacyIts becoming increasingly clear that an #
AOSP based operating system, without Google Play Services can offer great privacy and security. #
GrapheneOS #
CalyxOS #
HashbangOS and #
RattlesnakeOS all provide verified boot, which helps guard against persistent compromise. #
LineageOS and #
OmniROM dont maintain this security feature, but are long lived and well known AOSP based operating systems.
Another measure that can be taken is not using app stores where malware is present #
fdroid is widely recognised by researchers as being free of malware.
The improvements to Android, which has long been considered to have inferior security,, are being demonstrated by companies paying more for exploit chains on #
Android than those for #
iOS
