Major features of Android 15
Android 15, however, introduces a few new headlining functions such as Private Space, Detection Lock, etc.
Private Space further enhances the security of your applications that are private and confidential. They would once launched be out of sight from your app list, notification, and settings but stay afloat on your device. To get to them, you will need to engage a different type of authentication.
The Theft Detection Lock is a new security feature that is being introduced to most devices with Android 10 and above. One can safeguard one’s data on the device in case of theft through a sensor AI-based system that will lock your phone in the event of theft through motions like swiping and running.
With the help of a newly added Remote Lock feature, you can lock the iPhone from any other device by its number regardless of the disabled Find My Devices service.
Android 15 brings improved capabilities to tablets and foldable smartphones and enables users to freeze the bottom for the most used apps and app pairs. Like the other shortcuts, the taskbar being unpinned is also achieved by the same toggle.
