When someone steals your phone, your device will automatically lock itself. These features of Google include Theft Detection Lock, Offline Device Lock, and Remote Lock. 

The new feature started to comfortably roll out for users in the US. A few days ago, this feature was also brought into Brazil. This feature is expected to be released over the coming days for all country Android users. The feature will make its way to all devices above Android 10.
