Science and technology desk: Google is bringing new features to prevent theft of your smartphone; If it is on, Google Chrome will force you to provide biometric identity to open any app.

Even if the thief knows your PIN, pattern or password, it's no use. He will not have access to all those sensitive apps. And that will be confirmed by Android's 'Identity Check' feature.

The feature is being brought to Android following Apple's 'Stolen Device Protection'. Enabling this feature will force an app to use biometrics when opening. It may be that a PIN, pattern or password is used to open the app in general.

But biometric authentication is required if the 'Identity Check' feature is enabled. Google announced this feature last week.

If the thief grabs the phone and runs away, this feature will catch it! Using a 'machine learning model', the phone will automatically turn on the 'detection lock' mode if it detects that the thief is running or fleeing in a car.

As a result, the thief will no longer be able to open the phone. In the next few days, this Google feature will be available on various Android phones. As a result, users can take comfort in thinking that the work of thieves is going to be very difficult.
