Android boosting security with Theft Detection Lock, factory reset protection

Android is enhancing its security features with the introduction of Theft Detection Lock, improved factory reset protection, and other measures to make devices less attractive to thieves. These updates, part of Android 15, include biometric authentication for critical settings and new locks that activate under specific theft-related conditions.

Additionally, Android is boosting privacy with live threat detection in Google Play Protect and hiding sensitive information from notifications. New screen sharing and cellular protections are also being added to safeguard user data. These updates will be rolled out to various devices through Google Play services updates later this year.
