Android 15 will add a new security feature called Theft Detection Lock
Google said its algorithms can detect motions associated with theft, like those associated with grabbing the phone and bolting, biking or driving away. Any of those theft-like shock motions will make the phone auto-lock. Also, another new feature will be Remote Lock, to remotely lock the phone’s screen from any device with only the phone number and the completion of a “quick security challenge”.

Google unveiled a new private space function for Android
The private space that users set up will be able to keep data and notifications from any sensitive apps from being accessed by the rest of the smartphone. Private space uses a separate user profile, and when it’s locked, the profile is paused, so the apps in it are no longer active. Users can choose to use the device lock or a separate lock factor for Private space.
