    Imagine that if your smartphone is not only smart enough, you can know that it has been stolen and you can lock yourself to prevent the thief from accessing your data. Everything is instant. Imagine no longer, because this is this new feature that is about to run the device that runs on Android 10 or later. Greet to Google's new AI -led theft blocking feature. Android anti-theft lock timeline


    Google first revealed its upcoming anti-theft measures to Android users in May, when Susan Frey, Google's vice president of products, trust and growth, revealed how three new features will help prevent theft before it happens. Assist smartphone users during and after an incident. In many ways, data stored on the device are more valuable than smartphones because they can block access to access and personal information tax used in network crimes and personal information tax.


    Android Mishaal Rahman, the Guru Mishaal Rahman operating system, has entered the social media platform X. It is reported to be one of the most incredible anti -theft theft, ie blocking theft and detecting, and now it is launched to some users. Rahman said this feature is "launched for limited users registered in Brazil".


    What is the blocking of Google thefts? 


    So what is an anti-theft lock? Frey's announcement from Google calls it "automatic AI-powered screen lock when the phone is robbed," which sums it up nicely. Basically, the anti-theft lock uses Google AI to determine if someone has grabbed your smartphone by identifying the types of movement most commonly associated with such theft: snatching it from your hand, followed by running away on foot, bike or car. 


    If it sees motion as a sign of theft, the AI-powered feature will immediately lock your device to prevent a thief from easily accessing your data. Sure, it's not foolproof, and there are ways to unlock a locked device, but anything that makes it harder for a common thief is worth it. I recommend using a long PIN or password after facial or fingerprint authentication to make things as difficult as possible. “Find My Device already allows you to remotely lock or wipe a lost or stolen phone,” Frey said, “and now you can mark it as lost for easier tracking.


    The factory reset upgrade will make it harder for a thief to reset your smartphone for resale. "With this update, if a thief hard resets a stolen device, they won't be able to set it up again without knowing your device or Google account information," Frey said.


    The Private Space feature will hide your sensitive applications from those who want to extract valuable data. Frey said the new feature "lets you create a separate area of ​​your phone that you can hide and lock with a separate PIN," providing extra security for apps that contain sensitive data.
