Overview

• Android 15 introduces new security features like Theft Detection Lock and Private Space, but some expected cellular protections are missing on Pixel 9.
• The missing Mobile Network Security features were mistakenly previewed in Android 15 beta, leading to confusion about their availability.
• These cellular security features require hardware compatibility that current Pixel models, including the Pixel 9, do not support.
• The Theft Detection Lock, available on devices running Android 10 or later, uses AI to lock phones if sudden movements suggest theft.
• Google is gradually rolling out Theft Detection Lock, starting with newer devices, but it is not available on Android Go, tablets, or wearables.
