Tips & Tricks - Did you Know?

[realaud]

Did you know that with OneUI7.0 came more theft protection for your devices?  There are now features you can enable to further protect your phone and data.  There is an Identity Check feature, where you can enable a biometric to prevent someone who may know your password from changing settings or your password/PIN/pattern.  There is also a Theft Detection Lock, which will lock your phone if it detects someone has grabbed it and ran away; and Offline device lock which will lock your phone if it loses its network connections and, of course, remote lock (which did exist prior in the find app).  

To access and enable these features, go to settings/security and privacy/lost device protection/theft protection and then enable and set up the items you want.

Nice 👍 but it's missing on my Tab for some reason

[realaud]

I don't know why.  I do know that some settings were added only for phones, as tablets behave differently.

OK, but I would like Samsung to add that to tabs because tablets are also very valuable

I seem to  have left out a step from my previous instructions - before you get to theft protection settings, you have to tap "lost device protection".  So if this setting appears in your tab settings, you would do that first.  Going to edit my original post now.  If it does not appear in your settings, then submit feedback through the feed back link in the support tab.

Doesn't appear.

You are sure?  On my phone it's the third item on the list:

I actually have lost device protection but only find my mobile.

I wonder why?  I have an A54, what phone do you have?
