In May, we heard about a new Android Theft Detection feature coming to Android phones. It looks like this feature is slowly rolling out.
The feature was spotted by X user Mishaal Rahman, where he posts an email announcement about the feature. It looks like the feature is rolling out Brazil first, meaning we will get the update in the future. According to Google, the feature would release by the end of 2024.
Android Theft Detection will automatically recognize suspicious signals, and protect your data on the device. Your phone will look out for people swiping your phone, and take action against it.
Hopefully the feature will launch soon – The Pixel 9 phone releases soon, and it would be a good feature to have on that.
