Google is celebrating success

As many as 80 percents of Android applications from the Play Store encrypts data transmitted via the network by default. Google boasts of statistics and notes that even at the beginning of 2018, virtually no application did it.

The use of TLS is by default any application created for Android 9 or later ("Target SDK" is then a level 28 or higher API). All updates and new programs created in this way, uploaded to the Store, encrypt the traffic by default, which can be seen in the statistics.

A clear increase in the number of such applications can be seen primarily from around mid-2018. During the official presentation of Android 9, the described change in the requirements for data transfer was confirmed, which resulted in inappropriate actions being taken by the first programmers.

Now Google points out that traffic is already encrypted in 4 out of 5 programs. The trend is clear, so recording an even more impressive result, i.e. 100 or almost 100 percent of secured applications, seems to be a matter of at most a few consecutive months.
