Android offers advanced features to deter thieves and protect your data:
* Theft Detection Lock: This uses AI to detect if your phone is snatched. If suspicious motion is sensed, your phone will automatically lock itself.
* Offline Device Lock: If someone tries to disconnect your phone from the network for an extended period, this feature locks your device to protect your data.
* Remote Lock: Even if you can't recall your Google account password, you can lock your phone with just your phone number and a security challenge.
To enable these:
* Go to Settings > Google > All services > Theft protection.
* Turn on Theft Detection Lock, Offline Device Lock, and Remote Lock.
Important Notes:
* These features may require Android 10 or higher and a Google Play services update.
* Keep your phone's software updated to benefit from the latest security patches.
