BlackBerry has released the Android 6.0 Marshmallow (M) mobile operating system for Priv, the first-ever BlackBerry smartphone fully powered by Android.

Existing PRIV users will be able to upgrade to Android M by downloading the software update on their device.

Android Marshmallow on Priv will improve mobile security by providing new opportunities to monitor and control privacy with its unique DTEK app.

Priv by BlackBerry is the most secure Android device in the market and we continue to find ways to further enhance users’ security and privacy by adding new features with the Marshmallow operating system update.
John Chen, Executive Chairman and CEO, BlackBerry

DTEK by BlackBerry has been updated also to monitor and control their privacy – better protecting PRIV from malware, hacks and data breaches.
