JAKARTA - Google has some security features on Android to help users protect their personal data if the phone is lost or stolen.

The following is a complete guide on how to activate the Theft Protection and Identity Check feature on Android phones.

However, it should be noted that maybe some steps only work on Android 15 or later.

Enable Protection Features From Theft

With this feature, users can lock or track the device even when it is offline. This feature is available from Android 10 to above (best on Android 15).

Enable Identity Check Feature

This feature uses fingerprints or facial recognition to ensure only legitimate owners can access sensitive actions. Once activated, the feature will request biometric authentication for things such as changing passwords, disabling security features, or reset factories.
