Has anyone seen that before? It showed up on my screen today. I thought that was supposed to be a part of Android 15?

Yep Google released it to OEM's and Samsung have started to roll this out as a priority to protect users.

Had it since the October software update on my S22ultra. Still waiting for the Nov one.

Yes just like @Obsydian said. It's part of the November update. I activated it by mistake today cos I dropped my phone in the bag 😂

@TarantuLuke: To begin with, please head to Settings > Security and privacy > Updates > Security update, and make sure that you are on the latest version.

Now, head back to Settings > Security and privacy > More security settings > Theft protection, where you will find the 'Theft detection lock' feature.

I already have it enabled. I was just surprised to see it, I thought it will be a part of A15
