Google is Sex On Phone (2025)stepping up its device security game for Android users, with long-promised theft protection tools that are beginning to make their way to select devices this week.
Spotted by Android journalist Mishaal Rahman on X (formerly Twitter), the rollout introduces three major features: Theft Detection Lock, Offline Device Lock, and Remote Lock. Initially spotted on devices like the Xiaomi 14T Pro and some Pixel models, these tools aim to give users more control when their phones are stolen, offering quick lockdown options even when the device is offline.

Theft Detection Lock leverages Google’s AI to sense when your phone is physically snatched from your hands, locking the device instantly. If the thief cuts off internet access, Offline Device Lock kicks in, keeping your phone secured even when it’s not connected.
Then there's Remote Lock, which simplifies locking your phone from a distance. While you can already do this with Google’s Find My Device, Remote Lock eliminates the hassle of logging into your Google account. Instead, you just enter your phone number and pass a quick security check to lock things down.
According to Rahman, these features are being rolled out globally and will be available on all phones running Android 10 or higher.
