Android phones are getting more anti-theft features

Google has announced new anti-theft features for Android devices, enhancing protection against theft. Updates include stronger authentication safeguards, improved recovery tools, and a dedicated toggle for the Failed Authentication Lock feature. Users will benefit from increased lockout times after failed attempts and expanded coverage for biometric apps. The Remote Lock feature will now require a security challenge for activation. In Brazil, two features, Theft Detection Lock and Remote Lock, will be enabled by default to enhance security against theft.
