Device Protection lets you remotely lock and delete all the data from a lost or stolen device, and even freeze the device completely. Device Protection fulfills a pledge Google made to the law enforcement group Secure Our Smartphones last year to add a kill switch to Android devices. It’s the Android version of whats known on the iPhone as Activation Lock or Find My iPhone. Google also promised last September that all Lollipop devices would come with encryption enabled by default, but has since pulled back due to performance issues on many devices.”]
