iOS users are more bothered about their security and privacy as compared to Android users, new research claims. According to a research conducted by cloud storage iDrive, iPhone users take their privacy and security more seriously as compared to people who use Android operating system.
iDrive conducted the survey, among a total of 20,000 users from each platform, by looking at the volume of photos and videos backed up on each platform, and how many users elected to use private key encryption for better data protection.
As per the report, iOS users backed up 33 percent more photos, and nearly 20 percent more videos than Android users. Furthermore, iOS users also are 25 percent more likely to keep data secure with encryption.
Patrick Nielsen, Senior Security Researcher at Kaspersky Lab, said that iOS and Android both have users ranging from the categories of ‘Does not care at all’ to ‘Cares deeply’ on the security and privacy awareness spectrum.
However, it’s no coincidence that iOS users seem to rank higher, said Nielsen.
