Google is significantly enhancing security in Android 15 with new features like Theft Detection Lock. This AI-driven tool can detect when your phone is stolen and immediately lock it, even if the thief is in a vehicle. Available on all phones running Android 10 or higher, the feature aims to protect personal data. Other security measures include Offline Device Lock, which shuts down the phone when it goes offline, and a lock triggered by excessive failed authentication attempts. Additionally, Google is simplifying Remote Device Lock, allowing users to lock their phone remotely with just a phone number and a security challenge. These updates are expected to be released in early October.
