TLDR: You can now prevent Wi-Fi, airplane mode, and mobile data from being toggled off while on the lock screen.

If you have an eSIM device, that means anytime it's on, it can be tracked. And the only way to stop it would be to turn it off entirely.

If your device is still physical sim only, then the thief could just remove the sim card, and that would disable mobile data, obviously.

This is actually why I do not have the toggles for mobile data and airplane mode in my quick settings.
