    Lol, who wants these anyways. One more reason not to use google play services. (Though I have google play services on this phone.)

    Automatic AI-powered screen lock for when your phone is snatched.

    Theft Detection Lock is a powerful new feature that uses Google AI to sense if someone snatches your phone from your hand and tries to run, bike or drive away. If a common motion associated with theft is detected, your phone screen quickly locks – which helps keep thieves from easily accessing your data.

    One good thing you could try is use this app:

      Why would we need AI for that? That just makes the function unpredictable. There must be a real solution to detecting this.

        The real solution is, a heuristic analysis of the phone’s gyroscope and accelerometer data.

        Marketing calls that, “AI”.
