Do you still need to Encrypt with Titan M?

[Unfranchise33]

Now that Google has this Titan M chip built in, do you really need to encrypt your device data? (Scratching Head Emoji)

Yes

Did you notice any lag when you encrypted? And If I encrypt and plug my phone into my PC, will I still be able to see and download files? Thanks in advance.

I am confused. Isn't the phone encrypted out of the box? I didn't think it was something you had "to do."

So far, I don't think the question had been answered...

well the way I understand it is , usually if you click the encryption button its extra layer of protection for your phone data and you would set a different pin for this so incase someone figured your pin they still have to figure the encryption pin . now your phone will be be a little sluggish because of all your data being encrypt . what the titanium security does is protect you from virus or someone that can remotely control your phone without having it .

I am trying to wrap my head around this.

So it takes the data on your phone that's already encrypted behind a fingerprint/PIN and encrypts it again?

Is the end-user experience providing two forms of authentication back-to-back every time you want to access the phone? For example, PIN then PIN or fingerprint then PIN.

... and it slows down your phone overall.

Wait, what button? Is this separate from the setting in security?

Exactly. What button?

That image is from a Samsung phone.

Usually in setting/security or when you first set-up your phone in the beginning

Yes

 

[Itsa_Me_Mario]

This?

 

[PaulQ]

This is the right screen, right?



Now this goes back to my first comment - I didn't think there was anything to be done on the Pixel 3.
