After Apple's iPhone 6 and iOS 8, Google will soon enable encryption by default on devices running Android L, the upcoming latest version of its operating system for mobile devices. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

It quoted Google spokeswoman Niki Christoff as saying encryption in the next Android release \"will be enabled by default out of the box, so you won't even have to think about turning it on. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

For over three years Android has offered encryption, and keys are not stored off of the device, so they cannot be shared with law enforcement, she said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

But the report also said it could take months at least before most Android devices are encrypted by default. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Also, while the feature will mean more privacy for users, it will make it harder for law enforcers to gain access to personal data kept on smartphones. <\/p>\n
