Android ‘M’ could return privacy control to users

Focus on user data privacy is tipped for Google's next version of Android, to bring it in line with Apple's iOS and custom Android versions such as Cyanogen

Google is expected to bring Android into line with Apple iOS on user privacy, with version "M" due for release later this month, giving control of app data back to the users.

Android will include detailed control over personal data, such as phone numbers, location, names and addresses, and whether apps can access some or none or all of it, according to a Bloomberg report.
