En effet, le cryptage sur Android est une option, pas activée par défaut… Donc assez évidemment, très peu d’utilisateurs en connaissent l’existence, et encore moins l’activent.
Although 97% of Android phones have encryption as an option, less than 35% of them actually got prompted to turn it on when they first activated the phone. Even then, not everybody chooses that extra layer of security.
A Google spokesman said that encryption is now required for all « high-performing devices » — like the Galaxy S7 — running the latest version of Android, Marshmallow. But only 1.2% of Android phones even have that version, according to Google.
