The company said that it would roll out these features to devices running Android 10 and newer versions of the OS later this year.

In case the Theft Detection Lock feature fails, the Offline Device Lock feature comes into play. This feature locks your device “If a thief tries to disconnect your phone for prolonged periods of time.”
