Stealing, selling Android phone to become impossible

16 May, 2024 16:37

It will now be impossible to steal and sell Android phones.

Google is introducing new security features for Android devices that will prevent thieves from selling your phone or accessing your data.

At Google’s annual developer conference, a few new features were announced to protect Android devices.

These features will protect both devices and data.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology will be used for several features, among which a feature called Thief Detection Lock is the most important.

This feature uses AI technology to determine when someone is snatching the phone from your hand and running away. If the feature senses that the phone is stolen, it automatically locks the device and makes it impossible to access any data inside it.

Another feature is offline device lock. This feature will lock the device’s screen when it is kept away from the internet for a long time or after multiple failed attempts to log in to the device.

If your phone is already unlocked, you will be able to lock the screen of the device using Remote Lock. It will be possible to do this from any device, it will just need to pass a security challenge, meaning there will be no need to remember the Google account password.

Google is also developing tools that will prevent thieves from stealing Android phones. For example, if an Android device is reset to factory settings, a thief would need to enter your device or Google account details to get it working again. If he does not, then the phone will not be able to be used.

This means that it will be almost impossible to sell the phone after blowing the data.

Likewise, disabling the Find My Device setting will now require a PIN or biometric method.
