Android users can now disable 2G to block Stingray attacks

Google has given Android users the option not to allow 2G cellular connections on their device, the setting is turned on by default. The option is only available on Android 12 for now, but the option is not yet available for Android 11 and Android 10. Apple hasn’t given iPhone users a choice to lock their devices to 4G/5G connectivity only, but now that Google has taken that step, its likely the competition follows. The new option requires the modem needs to support the 1.6 Radio HAL, which is available only on newer devices.”]
