Edit: These three features actually appear to be rolling out globally, judging by all the replies I’ve received!
I just checked my Xiaomi 14T Pro and noticed that I have Theft Detection Lock and Offline Device Lock but not Remote Lock. Some Pixel users in the US tell me they have Remote Lock but not the other two.
Theft Detection Lock uses a ML model to detect when someone snatches your phone from your hand and tries to run away with it on foot, by bike, or by car. If detected, your phone will automatically lock, blocking unwanted access to your apps and data.
Offline Device Lock automatically locks your screen if a thief tries to keep your phone disconnected from the Internet for an extended period of time.
Remote Lock lets you remotely lock your phone using just your phone number in case you can’t sign into Find My Device using your Google account password.
All three features entered beta in August, starting in Brazil. Google told me the final versions of these features would more widely roll out this year, and it seems the features have begun expanding.
LMK which (if any) of these 3 new features you have!
