Theft Detection Lock is a powerful new feature that uses Google AI to sense if someone snatches your phone from your hand

What could possibly go wrong…

What are you aiming it? If it’s a false alarm, just unlock your phone again.

So worst case you might turn off this feature.

also don’t see how you could trigger it assuming it expects a very specific movement pattern that includes a sudden movement.
maybe by dropping your phone but that doesn’t happen that often and having to unlock your phone again is the least of your concerns in that case

Yeah, I’m worried if I have a sudden shift in my fetish preferences, this thing might get triggered.

Well, another reason for a degoogled custom rom.
