Android P Will Block Background Apps from Accessing Your Camera, Microphone

Android P mobile operating system will block apps idling in the background from accessing smartphone’s camera and microphone. Google is working on two built-in features in Android P to protect its users from malicious apps spying on them using smartphones’ camera or microphone. Android P is still in development and is not yet named; Google seems to release the next major version of Android in this year’s Google I/O developer conference that will take place from May 8 to May 10 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California.
