Redefining the AI-powered workplace.
The modern, AI-driven workplace requires more than just remote access, it calls for a reimagined approach to mobility. Today’s employees expect tools that not only connect them but also enhance productivity and collaboration, making work smarter, faster, and more flexible.
Yet with these opportunities come new risks. As technology advances, so too do the threats. Smartphones are now one of the most vulnerable endpoints: more than half of organisations report them as their primary exposure point. Data breaches often originate from unsecured mobile access, responsible for 54% of incidents, or from the use of public Wi-Fi, which contributes to 40% of compromises. To remain competitive, businesses must deliver tailored employee experiences that combine convenience with built-in security.
Android continues to evolve to meet these challenges. As mobile solutions become the backbone of modern work, the need for robust security, effortless collaboration, and streamlined management has never been greater. Android 16 is designed with these demands in mind, helping organisations strengthen protection, empower teams, and unlock new levels of efficiency.
To help you get up to speed on what’s new for business, this white paper explores the features that deliver real enterprise value and demonstrate how Android 16 is evolving to support modern work.
Rather than providing a line-by-line summary of every update, it highlights the capabilities most relevant for organisations looking to strengthen security, improve manageability, and enable smarter collaboration.
Inside this whitepaper you’ll find:
- A breakdown of Android 16’s most relevant features for enterprise
- New AI-powered capabilities designed to support smarter, more productive ways of working
- A closer look at new security capabilities, including Advanced Protection and Device Trust

Three themes shaping Android’s enterprise roadmap
AI moves deeper into everyday work
Discover how Android 16 brings AI further into everyday mobile work, helping employees communicate, collaborate and get more done from wherever they are.
Device trust becomes more important
As work extends beyond traditionally managed endpoints, Android Enterprise Device Trust gives organisations greater insight into device posture. With more than 20 Android-specific signals available across managed and unmanaged devices, security teams can make more informed, context-aware access decisions.
Device management gets simpler and smarter
From Platform SSO and web-based authentication to shared device scenarios and stronger authentication controls, Apple is placing identity at the centre of the user experience while reducing complexity for IT teams.
