Hello Stephen.
Thank you for contacting AVG Community Support.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.
Our comprehensive research showed that AVG Anti-Theft does not offer enough value compared to Android’s built-in Find My Device (https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlname=avg-anti-theft-discontinuation-faq&retUrl=support_Android_AVG_Antivirus#idt_050) feature. Due to its direct integration with the system, Find My Device provides better functionality and user experience. Therefore, we decided to decommission AVG Anti-Theft and focus on other advanced protection features.
Anti-Theft has been removed from AVG AntiVirus on September 30, 2023.
Thank you.
I have recently installed AVG and AVG VPN (paid subscription) onto two new devices however cannot see the locate button to test finding my devices in the event they go missing.
Where has this button moved to as the instructions on Google are old and inaccurate?
