Google is now in full swing preparing for the launch of its new mobile platform – Android 12. Meanwhile, the network began to appear details about it.
This time, enthusiasts from the mobile developer community XDA Developers have found one of the features of the future update by digging into the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) code.
The new feature is internally called restricted networking mode. Interestingly, in a note describing the innovation, enthusiasts expressed frustration that the feature does not add the hotly anticipated customizable system-level firewall.
However, this mode may well prove useful. If you activate it in the settings, then only those applications that have received special permission CONNECTIVITY_USE_RESTRICTED_NETWORKS will be able to connect to the network. Such permission will only be granted to specific system applications and / or installed by the manufacturer. Thus, in restricted network mode, any applications installed by the user cannot access the Internet.
The first developer preview of Android 12 is expected in February.
