Theft Detection Lock is a powerful new feature that uses Google AI to sense if someone snatches your phone from your hand
What could possibly go wrong…
What are you aiming it? If it’s a false alarm, just unlock your phone again.
…and again and again and again…
So worst case you might turn off this feature.
also don’t see how you could trigger it assuming it expects a very specific movement pattern that includes a sudden movement.
maybe by dropping your phone but that doesn’t happen that often and having to unlock your phone again is the least of your concerns in that case
Yeah, I’m worried if I have a sudden shift in my fetish preferences, this thing might get triggered.
Well, another reason for a degoogled custom rom.
How about putting all app data in storage0 so it can be easily backed up. The thing I care about most if my phone is stolen is being able to build a new one and not have to spend the next day reconfiguring every damned app.
You can backup Android completely but only certain manufacturers allow it. Like Samsung & pixel has it
This will be so useless, it will be triggered so often by parents snatching phones from teenagers and become an annoyance.
Seems like it will fulfill its purpose then - to protect said teenager’s data.
Not the teenager’s phone. The parents paid for it… and continue to pay for it through the subscription of cellular service. Unfortunately any attempt to keep the parent out would be accurately described as theft or destruction of property.
The private space sounds interesting. I wonder how it works in practice. Can any app be stored there?
Sounds like a work profile, so you could probably simulate it already with something like Island. Although I can’t remember if it also has a PIN feature.
