Can't enable mobile security settings (lemmy.ml)

Hi there,

I have an Asus Zenfone 10 on Android 15. In this release of android a new feature named mobile security settings became available which are supposed to signal and protect against surveillance on the mobile network side, like at a protest.

When I try to enable these settings on my device they are off again when I reenter these settings. Do these settings have some kind of prerequisite? Are they working on your device?

Thanks!

Wtf! Same situation for me!

Is this some more Asus bullshit? I am still mad that I can't unlock it

Edit: but also what is encrytion on normal mobile network supposed to be? Are calls somehow encrypted? I thought normal network is not encrypted anyway, how even, is there a key exchange or anything?

Mobile radio communication is encrypted between you and the tower. Newer protocols have better encryption then older. That's why Stingray tracker is bad since it can force phones to use older vulnerable protocols.
