With families getting back to their back-to-school routines, protecting your cell phone devices is critical, especially if they end up in the wrong hands.

There are specific safety features you can Google for your particular phone to better protect yourself and your information.

For example, if you have a Google Pixel Android device, you can activate the "Theft Detection Lock." Instructions: That feature uses smart motion sensors and AI to detect if someone grabs your phone and runs, rides off on a bike or drives away; the screen will lock fast.
