Android, iOS on Opposite Sides of Encryption Divide

Consumers' understanding of what encryption does apparently doesn't determine whether they use the technology, as iPhone owners are much more likely to use encryption than Android users. Most Android phones are not encrypted, either by user choice or manufacturer design. About 95 percent of all iPhones reportedly are encrypted, compared with less than 10 percent of Android phones. Why? Google has been slow in mandating full-disk encryption. The feature generally is turned off by default in Android smartphones that have it.
