Android devices are popular among users as they generally offer more flexibility than Apple’s iOS. Both users and manufacturers can tinker with Android and adjust things as they please. However, the freedoms that Android users enjoy come at a price as those devices are sometimes more vulnerable to attacks and privacy-related issues. Unlike Apple’s strictly guarded and closed iOS open source, Android’s relaxed code policy has allowed anyone to exploit potential loopholes. Android-run devices vastly outnumber Apple’s iOS, so it is safe to say that hackers and eavesdroppers of all sorts generally target Android users more often.
