In the accessibility settings, a new toggle is available that makes the area you're magnifying automatically follow the text as you type. Choose which apps to install to the guest profile when you make a new guest user in Android 13. With this option, you can trigger dark mode automatically at bedtime. You're alerted about the device when Android identifies that something is wanting to pair with it. Fast Pair lets you quickly pair a device with your phone so you don't have to manually walk through the settings app to do it. Users can set a different language for each app, rather than one global default setting. This feature forces the app maker to ask permission to send notifications, similar to the prompt you get on many browsers. Android reporter Mishaal Rahman has a video showing how it works. Just long-press the notification and decide where on the screen it should go. Drag a notification to one side of the screen to quickly open that app in split-screen mode. The OS also improves on Android 12's privacy features, including the option to allow app access to specific photos rather than all of them, an auto-clear feature that deletes content from the clipboard after a set time, and a 7-day look at the privacy dashboard instead of only 24 hours. Android 13 builds on Material You, Android 12's UI revamp, which allowed a range of customizations like matching your wallpaper colors to your app themes. All in all, this new report may be a timely reminder to Android fans that they should definitely be careful of what they side-load. Moreover, Zimperium notes that RATs are also capable of periodically activating a phone's cameras (front- or rear-facing) and mics for further spying potential. Therefore, they may allow a malicious actor to find out an awful lot about a given device's owner. They may include messages (whether from apps such as WhatsApp or thoes sent via SMS) recorded phone-calls GPS-derived location info browser search histories and even the contents of clipboards or notifications. This is because it is apparently a form of malware called a Remote Access (or RAT) trojan, and may thus be capable of sending all kinds of user data back to its C&C server. Once installed, this humdrum-looking app allegedly starts communicating with its maker's command and control ( C&C) server via the Firebase system, sending it information on subjects such as how its new host connects to the internet, its battery stats and whether WhatsApp is installed or not.
This software may be found online by searching for the name in question, and may even have a convincing-looking Google logo as an icon, but is not found on the Play Store. Zimperium has published a blog post warning Android users off installing an app called " System Update", asserting that it is in fact a form of malware capable of stealing a wealth of personal and sensitive information from their phones or tablets.
