Google has introduced several new features to enhance Android device security against theft, including Theft Detection Lock that uses motion sensors to lock devices during theft attempts. The Offline Device Lock ensures that devices are secured if they are offline for an extended period, while Remote Device Lock enables users to secure their devices even if they forget their Google account credentials. Other security improvements include requiring authentication for sensitive settings and enhanced factory reset protection to further safeguard user data.
A series of new features rolling out today will hopefully make your Android device less attractive to thieves.
Google teased a new AI-powered Theft Detection Lock for Android phones. This feature uses motion sensors to detect theft in progress and immediately locks the screen.
In addition to Theft Detection Lock, Google has announced an Offline Device Lock. If an unlocked device is offline for a prolonged time, the screen will lock, making the device useless.
Along with those features, Android 15 adds several changes that make it more difficult for thieves to do anything with your device if they have it.
