Theft detection lock

[Tomster88]

I just had a quick question, does turning on theft detection lock and all the other related features drain the battery at all? I was just curious about that. Thanks!

It's a pretty new feature so we have to test to see

Cool. I haven't turned them on yet either. Let me know what you find out

I turned them on but it's early to see if any impact.

I saw some funny write ups about testing this but I don't plan to use it right now. I'm worried I'll lock myself out.

No issues at all with my battery the phone has been running along the same as before in my early observations

I turned it on so that I could evaluate if it would impact my battery, but someone stole my phone during the test...
