Samsung alerts Galaxy phone users to activate new features due to rising phone thefts. The updated Theft Protection suite protects personal data through Offline Device Lock, which locks the screen when disconnected, and Remote Lock for stolen devices. Users should enable new anti-robbery features like Identity Check, which allows setting trusted locations for unlocked access, and Security Delay, which introduces a wait period for biometric reset attempts. These features enhance standard Android protections and address high-risk scenarios with compromised credentials.
Samsung warns Galaxy phone users to activate new security features immediately as phone thefts increase. New measures in One UI 7 enhance protection for users' personal data.
Theft Protection is a multi-layered suite of features developed to safeguard personal data, including Offline Device Lock and Remote Lock functionalities.
New anti-robbery features include Identity Check and Security Delay. Identity Check allows defining trusted places, while Security Delay introduces a one-hour waiting period for attempts to reset biometric data.
These updates build on standard Android safety protections, adding extra layers designed for high-risk scenarios where access credentials may be compromised.
