Can't enable mobile security settings

Hi there,

I have an Asus Zenfone 10 on Android 15. In this release of android a new feature named mobile security settings became available which are supposed to signal and protect against surveillance on the mobile network side, like at a protest.

When I try to enable these settings on my device they are off again when I reenter these settings. Do these settings have some kind of prerequisite? Are they working on your device?

Thanks!

I struggled to find decent documentation on this feature.

But I suspect your carrier's settings override it, I'm not sure if a custom rom would help.

These are carrier-specific settings.

Kind of pointless if a carrier can disable it.
