Android 15 to release anti-theft feature
2024-03-19
At Google I/O 2024, Google's next Android 15 operating system will make its public debut along with a ground-breaking anti-theft functionality. By utilising the 'Powered Off Finding API,' it is possible to follow devices even when they are turned off, which closes a key security vulnerability. But compatibility depends on certain hardware characteristics, therefore only a limited number of devices running Android 15 are available.
While the new feature represents a significant advancement in smartphone security, it is similarly contingent upon specific hardware features. Also, not all the smartphones will run on Android 15 OS.
Smartphone manufacturers may need to incorporate compatible hardware features into their devices.
Reports have suggested that the Google Pixel 9 series will be equipped with the hardware which will support this new feature. Subsequently, it is anticipated that Google and other Android devices will incorporate this anti-theft technology.
