/app SAND-boks/

Also known as: application sandbox, iOS sandbox, Android sandbox

Last updated August 9, 2026

Definition

An app sandbox isolates each app’s files and memory so one app cannot freely read another’s private data — a core mobile OS security design.

Real-World Example

A flashlight app cannot read your banking app’s files because both run in separate sandboxes.
