There are two types of locks: theft detection lock and offline device lock, both of which are highly beneficial. These locks require Google Play. Will they function on Graphene OS with sandboxed Google Play?
Since Google Play needs to lock the device, it will require google play to be added to device admin app - lock the screen, along with sensor and network permissions. If a user grants these specific permissions to Google Play, will the theft detection lock and offline device lock operate on Graphene OS?
The feature automatically locks your phone when it detects your phone has been snatched from your hand. It uses data from your phone's accelerometer and gyroscope and checks if common motions associated with theft are detected.
Google rolled out the automated anti-theft function as a key part of the privacy and security upgrades in the latest version of Android. Plus, this theft detection feature won't be limited to Android 15; Google plans to add it to older Android versions as well.
According to Rahman, Google plans to expand this feature to all Android 10 and newer devices through a Google Play Services update. This, along with other anti-theft measures, will eventually be available globally, including in the US. While we don’t have exact release dates yet, it’s clear that Google is taking a proactive stance on protecting user data and devices.
