HOW TO FIND AND CONTROL MY LOST OR STOLEN PHONE
How To Find and Control My Lost or Stolen Phone |
Is You Smartphone Lost or Stolen ?......
Don't worry.....
There are some applications that will increase your chances to find your phone or, at least, to protect your content from viewing by villains. I will dwell on those for Android phones, however, there are plenty of analogs for iOS and Windows OS.
>>The main idea of all these apps is monitoring the device location (they all require GPS enabled for this purpose)
Lets Start...................
- Android Device Manager
Log in with your Google account |
your location on the map will be also displayed. There are just two buttons, 'Ring' and 'Setup Lock & Erase'.
Via Ring Button Your Phone ring for five minutes Loudly.
Log in with your Google account |
It can be useful, for example, if you cannot find your phone with silent mode turned on. + it works with silent Mode also}
What else you can do with Device Manager is to remotely lock or erase your device from the official Android page using the same Google account. Moreover, it is also possible to set a number that can be dialed from the lock screen of the lost device
Android Lost
Android Lost introductory pages Options and Troubleshooting windows The first striking feature is that it cannot be uninstalled using traditional methods
you can access Remotely the list of incoming and outgoing calls, take pictures with the front facing camera, browse the content on the phone directly from the web page, etc., not to mention the basic functions, such as that of Android Device Manager.
Phone Locator - MobiUcare
Bad news: you can access all MobiUcare features for $1.99 per year. The free version allows only sending notifications to lock the device and locating the phone using GPS. Of course, the price is negligibly cheap, but still, why should we pay if there are good free alternatives?Authorization step Take a picture or record an audio Avast not only allows controlling the phone remotely, but also keeps it safe from viruses and malware. I won't get off the point and will only say that it is able to scan all your apps and storage, back up your files (this extention needs additional installation), and has handy tools like firewall or a network meter. Referring to the anti-theft protection, you can locate your phone, activate a siren (which is really hard not to hear) and get a notification of a SIM card change. You can activate extra options (for about $20 per year) like remote SMS and data recovery, or, for example, automatically take pictures of the thief when he/she tries to unlock the device. Notice, that you will also need to create a pin that is required to uninstall the anti-theft software after you don't need it anymore
