BREAKING: Indian Govt looking to ban Proton Mail
Proton Mail is one of the best mail apps that offers end-to-end encrypted email platform
But, On February 8, a BOMB Threat was sent to 13 schools in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
However, the threat turned out to be a hoax & the Tamil Nadu police found that the email was sent via a ProtonMail account.
Unable to trace the IP address of the sender and failing to get assistance from Interpol, the Tamil Nadu police put in a request to India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) to block access to ProtonMail within the country.
(Bruh Moment x1)
MEITY granted the request Under Section 69A of the IT Act (Bruh Moment x2)
But the final order to block the website and delist the app from PlayStore and AppStore has NOT yet been sent to the Department of Telecommunications (DoT)
Proton acknowledged that it had received notice from MEITY about βa possible blockβ
Proton condemns the order & is working with the Govt. over the issue

Android 15 Developer Preview 1 is HERE! Google is giving us an early look at the next major Android version set to release this fall. Hereβs what Google says is new in Android 15 DP1:
- Android 15 ships with the latest version of the AdServices module, which houses the Privacy Sandbox on Android APIs. Specifically, it incorporates SDK Extension version 10.
- Android 15 also ships the latest version of the Android Health module, which houses the Health Connect by Android feature. SDK Extension version 10 adds support for new data types across fitness, nutrition, and more.
- The FileIntegrityManager class is adding new APIs that are backed by the Linux kernelβs fs-verity feature. The new setupFsVerity(java.io.File) method lets apps protect files with custom cryptographic signatures which can be checked via the new getFsVerityDigest(java.io.File) method to ensure they havenβt been tampered with or corrupted. This improves security by protecting against unauthorized file modifications that could compromise app functionality or data.
- Partial screen sharing lets users share or record just an app window rather than the entire device screen. This feature is already live as of Android 14 QPR2 on Pixel but will be more broadly available on other devices with Android 15. Developers can customize the partial screen sharing experience through media projection callback methods.
- Android 15 adds a new Camera2 API that lets apps boost the brightness of the camera preview (CameraCharacteristics#CONTROL_LOW_LIGHT_BOOST_INFO_LUMINANCE_RANGE). It also enables precise control of flash intensity in both SINGLE (CameraCharacteristics#FLASH_SINGLE_STRENGTH_DEFAULT_LEVEL) and TORCH (CameraCharacteristics#FLASH_TORCH_STRENGTH_DEFAULT_LEVEL) modes when capturing images
- Android 15 extends Universal Midi Packages (UMP) support to virtual MIDI apps, enabling composition apps to control synthesizer apps as a virtual MIDI 2.0 device.

- Android 15 improves the Android Dynamic Performance Framework (APDF) by adding a new power-efficiency mode that lets apps hint that their associated threads should prefer power saving over performance, reporting GPU and CPU work durations to allow the system to adjust frequencies together, and thermal headroom thresholds to interpret possible thermal throttling status based on headroom prediction.
- Finally, Android 15 adds new OpenJDK APIs related to NIO buffers, streams, security, and more. These APIs will be available on Android 12+ devices through a Google Play System Update to the ART Mainline module.
Thatβs everything Google mentioned in their press release! Thereβs of course a lot more thatβs new, so keep an eye out for my upcoming posts - I work hard to be your best source for Android OS news and wonβt let you down this year as well!
