Theft Detection Lock will lock your phone if a theft could be in progress.

Artificial intelligence algorithms are deployed to identify when a phone has been stolen.

It will also lock down if there are lots of failed authentication attempts in a row.

The feature will eventually be making its way to all devices running Android 10 or higher.
