Android 17 introduces an opt-in Advanced Protection Mode that hardens devices by blocking non-accessibility apps from using the Accessibility Services API (only tools marked isAccessibilityTool="true" are allowed), restricting sideloading and USB data access, and mandating Google Play Protect scans; it also adds a privacy-preserving contacts picker enabling apps to request only specific contact fields or selected contacts.
