What Is Theft Protection in One UI 7?

In One UI 7, Theft Protection helps secure your phone if it’s stolen by requiring identity verification before changing sensitive settings. This prevents unauthorized access to your apps and data.

Identity Check

Even if a thief knows your PIN, pattern, or password, Identity Check prevents them from modifying critical settings. When enabled, it requires biometric authentication and a security delay before allowing changes. You can also set safe places (e.g., home, work) where this protection won’t apply.
