Google will launch an anti -theft functionality with Android 16 this year.
The update will prevent stolen devices from operating after reset.
This measure aims to reduce mobile flight by making the devices inoperable.
Google should introduce a major anti -theft functionality with Android 16, aimed at making phones stolen practically useless. The update will include improved safety tools which “will restrict all the features on the reset aircraft without the authorization of the owner”, according to a report of Android police. This decision is part of Google’s wider effort to curb the mobile flight, which continues to increase worldwide. By making stolen stolen devices, the technology giant hopes to reduce the flight incitement. The functionality should be deployed later this year with the Android 16 operating system.
The Internet research giant revealed the new feature during “The Android Show: I / O Edition” recently. It essentially increases factor reset protection (FRP) – a safety function designed to make stolen phones unusable. GOOLE had made several improvements to FRP in Android 15, and the next Android update will still strengthen it.
Although Google has said nothing about new features, Android police Wore a screenshot which, she said, highlights Google’s plans.
The screenshot shows a flashing factory reset warning on the phone screen – something that Android 16 will force users to do on a stolen device if they somehow get around the configuration assistant.
This means that the company will block all the functionality of the device until the user resets it and enters the locking of the previous locking screen or the Google account identification information.
It is a stricter implantation of the safety function than the current structure, which allows you to use stolen devices to make phone calls and to other purposes.
However, one important thing to note here is that the improvement of the FRP may not happen with the initial version of Android 16 in June. Instead, it should be published later in the year, according to the Android police.
