Google unveils an opt-in Android security feature called Intrusion Logging, designed to help investigate devices after suspected spyware compromises. Announced as part of Android’s Advanced Protection Mode, the feature is intended to provide “persistent and privacy-preserving forensics logging” so investigators can analyze what happened on a device in the event of an intrusion. The feature is described as helping support forensics while limiting privacy impact. TechRadar reports that Intrusion Logging is available on the newest Pixel models at launch, with plans to expand availability to additional devices soon. TechCrunch frames the effort within Advanced Protection Mode’s broader focus on defending people targeted by high-risk spyware, including human rights activists, journalists, and dissidents, and mentions threats such as government spyware and related forensic capabilities. Across sources, Intrusion Logging is presented as an additional, user-enabled tool for collecting forensic data during suspected compromise scenarios rather than a real-time spyware detection mechanism.
