Google's next major version of Android operating system is here - if you have a Pixel phone, that is. On Tuesday, Google launched Android 15, making it available on Pixel devices (more precisely, Pixel 6 and newer).

Google’s Theft Detection Lock can sense when a phone has been snatched, and owners can remotely lock the device to protect data.

Google rolled out Android 15 and a new Pixel Drop, bringing new anti-theft features to phones, including a Theft Detection Lock.

With Android’s new theft protection feature, your phone will be a little more protected if it’s taken right out

In some cases, thieves may even snatch your device and run off. Fortunately, Google has recognised this growing issue and introduced a new set of features for its Pixel devices with Android, focused on theft protection in the Android 15 update.
