Googles Android 15 uses AI to lock your phone when someone grabs it

It's only available for Pixel phones right now, though.

In such cases, the phone will automatically lock itself, keeping you safe from potential data theft. Additionally, you can completely hide the existence of the private space on your phone, which should be handy if someone is coercing you to hand over whatever is contained within. Other new improvements include logging in with a single tap when you use Passkeys, app pairing on foldables and tablets, allowing you to quickly launch two apps at the same time, as well as the ability to quickly pin and unpin your taskbar on the screen.
