> Yeah, it's amazing that this is not called out more often. Android is a security mess.

Nope, Android security is quite good actually. Not as good as iOS, however very good nonetheless.

Of course, fragmentation issues and the fact that most Android devices are not updated do not help.

However there is active mitigation of security issues both in kernel and in Android user space.




Just to complemented my previous comment, Android is probably one of the most secure Linux based devices in the world, probably only losing to ChromeOS.
