I know several friends and family members whose smartphones were stolen by motorcycle riders while in use. Because devices are hacked so quickly, they don't have time to unlock and as a result personal data may be accessible to thieves. Google last weekend started rolling out its theft detection feature to users in Brazil in a beta version.
Updates are provided via Google Play Service on devices running at least Android 10. There are two settings that device owners can activate. The first setting will automatically lock the screen when the accelerometer detects activity such as the device being grabbed or quickly snapped. The second setting continues to put the device in offline mode as well when the accelerometer detects the same movement.
These two features do not make it easy to track the device but they at least prevent the misuse of personal data or banking applications by thieves. It is not yet known when this feature will be rolled out to global users.
