If you’re a Galaxy phone user, Samsung warns that you need to activate some new features as soon as you can.

In a recent press release, Samsung explained that as phone thefts continue to rise around the world, it’s critical for users to make sure they enable their phone’s security measures – some of which are new to One UI 7.

Also: Phone theft is on the rise – 7 ways to protect your device before it’s too late

One of the areas getting an update is Theft Protection, which Samsung called “a multi-layered suite of features developed to safeguard personal data.” Existing and updated features in this suite include:

• Theft Detection Lock: This feature uses machine learning to detect motions associated with theft (like a sudden snatch and rapid acceleration), and instantly locks the screen to stop unauthorized access. Pixel devices introduced a similar feature last fall.

• Offline Device Lock: If your device is disconnected from the network for an extended time, the screen gets automatically locked.

• Remote Lock: If your phone has already been stolen, you can lock it remotely using your phone number and a quick verification step. You can also regain control of your account and explore additional recovery options.

These features build on the standard Android safety protection, Samsung noted, but take security a step further by introducing additional protection for high-risk scenarios when your access credentials have been compromised.

To turn on these features, head to your device’s settings menu and find security and privacy, then “Lost Device Protection” and “Theft Protection.”

Samsung also recommended enabling new anti-robbery features that were released in One UI 7, including: 

• Identity check: Samsung lets you define trusted places (say, your home in Google Maps) where your phone stays unlocked. With the “Safe Places” feature, if you’re outside a trusted place, your phone will require biometric authentication for any sensitive security changes. This helps keep your device safe even if someone has your PIN.

• Security Delay: If someone attempts to reset biometric data, your phone puts a one-hour waiting period in place. This gives users time to lock their stolen phone from another device before unauthorized access can occur.

These features are also under the Security and Privacy Section of the settings menu, but under “Lost Device Protection.”

Samsung said the updated theft features are becoming available now on previous flagship devices like the Galaxy S24 series, Z Fold6, Z Flip6, Z Fold5, Z Flip 5, S23, and S22 series, with future updates coming to even more Galaxy smartphones.

Features like this are starting to become commonplace. Android rolled out broader anti-theft measures last fall, added a few more in May, and even introduced some enhanced protections just a few days ago. Apple introduced its own version for iPhones last January.

Mashable Deals

Grab this deal to get any color of Apple’s 2025 Macbook Air (M4 Chip, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) for $150 off, and pay $849.

Built as the portable option among Apple’s laptops, the Air manages to fit an impressive battery in its half-inch thick body, and holds a charge for up to 18 hours. With such good battery life, it’s an excellent around-town laptop.

Amazon’s Prime Day is fast approaching and the are coming through thick and fast. One that is perhaps worth your attention is a discount on Apple’s USB-C AirPods Max. The headphones have , which is a $69 discount. The deal is available for all AirPods Max colorways except purple (sorry if you were holding out for a good deal on that variant!).

This isn’t the best price we’ve ever seen for the AirPods Max. They dipped to $450 during last year’s Black Friday period. Still, it’s a solid discount for anyone looking to pick up a pair now.

Apple finally the AirPods Max with a USB-C charging port and new colorways last fall. Earlier this year, the company updated the headphones with some new features, but only for the USB-C model. That version of the AirPods Max now supports lossless audio and , though only in wired mode.

That update and the switch to USB-C charging are the only major changes Apple has made to the AirPods Max, which still otherwise . Even so, the headphones deliver high-quality audio with good active noise cancellation.

We gave the original version of the headphones back in 2020. At the time, the lack of high-res music streaming was one of our main misgivings, but that has since been resolved. Another major negative for us was the price, though this offer mitigates that issue.

London, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pixalate, the leading ad fraud protection, privacy, and compliance analytics platform, today released the Q1 2025 Global Mobile App Ad SDK Market Share Rankings Reports for the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. The Q1 2025 reports analyze the estimated market share of third-party ad software development kits (SDKs) used across apps on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

Third-party SDKs are created by companies that are different from the app developer. App developers utilize third-party advertising SDKs to perform various advertising-related functions, including mediation, measurement, attribution, and more.

Market share estimates are based on SDK presence. Pixalate identifies ad impressions on an app and attributes them to every SDK integrated into that app. Because many apps utilize multiple SDKs, this metric reflects an SDK’s footprint and potential access to impressions, not a direct confirmation of its participation in each ad sale.

Govee has taken the covers off of a trio of unique new smart lamps, with the Chinese brand’s new floor lamp series comprised of three distinct models built to do more than just glow in a corner.

The Tree, Uplighter, and Torchiere Floor Lamps – which have just been revealed for the German market – aim to turn your walls and ceilings into mood-setting light shows.

Starting with the Tree Floor Lamp, and it’s got a sculptural three-head design that looks more like modern decor than traditional lighting.

Each lamp head can swivel 350° side-to-side and tilt 90° up or down, with beam angles that go from narrow spotlighting to wide ambient wash. That means it should be good for both highlighting a bookshelf as it is mood-lighting a Netflix night.

It packs Govee’s RGBWW tech, with LuminBlend smooth transitions, 16 million colors, and brightness up to 1500 lumens. It’s tunable from 2700K to 6500K and comes with 64 scene presets, app control, voice support, and full Matter compatibility.

The Uplighter is a triple-threat, with a ceiling-facing ripple light at the top, a decorative RGBIC strip in the middle, and a lower lamp that beams out 1000 lumens for actual task lighting.

It’s looks to be the most ‘routine-ready’ of the bunch, with circadian lighting and automation features built in.

The Torchiere keeps things a little more relaxed, but still has plenty of smarts. It focuses on ambient glow with triple-zone RGB control, a soft output that’s easy on the eyes, and a built-in music sync mode for your chill-out playlists or party nights.

As with the rest of Govee’s ecosystem, all three lamps play nicely with Alexa, Google Assistant, and they are all Matter compatible.

Everything’s manageable via the, much improved, Govee app, where you’ll get all the usual features such as timers, DIY scenes, and routines.

They’re on sale in Germany now, I’d expect a US launch to follow soon.
