The rollout of Android 15 means boosted security for both Pixel phones as well as other devices running running Android 10 and above through Google Play System updates. And boosting theft protection for Android devices takes up much of the focus of this update.
It's easy to figure out why Google would be looking to boost theft protection in Android. Having our phones stolen can be massively traumatic, especially when you consider how much data we tend to keep on our devices. It isn't unusual for people to have everything from precious photos to banking details stored on their phones. Google has been working to improve how we keep our devices safe, with an update available today (October 15) that introduces several new methods for protecting your phone, whether at the moment it's stolen or before.
