    Google’s Android operating system collects user information far more than iOS devices, potentially revealing a level of detail about personal habits that may surprise some smartphone owners.

    A recent study found that devices based on the Android operating system send data back to Google servers 10 times as often as iPhones contact Apple servers. In addition, Android phones communicated more data (about 4.4MB a day), or about six times more data sent to Google’s servers than was seen with an iPhone.

    The research was conducted by Professor Douglas Schmidt at Vanderbilt University.
