I would actually prefer this tbf, as long as it isn’t forcing a biometric option I can see this being super useful as a deterrent for people who have biometrics set up. Being said, locking the ability to change the wifi and bluetooth state is also a good change.
Being said… I don’t see any situation where law enforcement could verify ownership… who walks around knowing the IMEI of the device, and if a cop can just call a carrier and find who owns a device based off an IMEI that is a grievous misuse of data and privacy.
Or a government unlock.
Marking a device as lost will also hide Quick Settings and disable new Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connections.
You can add new WiFi/Bluetooth connections to a locked device on normal android???
Interesting to see everyone’s experience with this. My Motorola phone will let me turn Bluetooth on/off, but all WiFi settings require unlock.
Just tried it because I found it hard to believe, and it does not work. To connect to a new WiFi network or pair a new Bluetooth device, I have to unlock my phone. I can only enable/disable WiFi and Bluetooth and connect to my most recently uses, paired Bluetooth devices.
Not on my device (/e/os). You can only disable WiFi and connect to a paired Bluetooth device. Maybe this is only in AOSP?
