How to turn On Android’s Theft Protection Feature

Theft Protection is a smart security feature that uses artificial intelligence and motion sensors to lock your phone if it thinks someone has taken off with it. Imagine you’re standing in line at a café, your phone in hand, and someone grabs it and runs. Theft Protection detects sudden movement and locks your device automatically. Pretty clever, right?

But it doesn’t stop there. Theft Protection is more than just a lock. It has a suite of additional security tools like Remote Lock and Offline Device Lock to ensure that your phone stays protected, even if it’s disconnected from the internet.

However, it’s important to know a few limitations of the Theft Detection Lock feature:

  • The feature won’t be active if your device’s screen is already locked.
  • To prevent unnecessary interruptions, Theft Detection Lock may not trigger when your device has a stable Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection or if it has experienced multiple locks in a short period of time.
