Android 17 QPR2 Beta 4 puts AI agents under supervision with new dashboard
A new dashboard tracks all agents installed on your device.
Google is introducing a new privacy dashboard in Android 17 QPR2 Beta 4 to monitor AI agents operating on users' devices. This new feature aims to address the growing trend of agentic workflows, where users delegate complex tasks to AI assistants such as Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude, often without active supervision. The new "Agents" option appears in the Security & privacy Privacy controls section of the Android 17 QPR2 beta, although no agents are currently listed.
The feature will reportedly display agents capable of accessing or performing actions within apps, with an option to install an agent to display it on the dashboard.
