Losing a mobile phone means losing a device that has an (often) high economic value, but above all losing an enormous amount of information and memories. For this reason, many are interested in the problem and its solution, from device manufacturers to application developers: they offer us different tools, from paid apps to integrated systems. In this article we talk about how to track down a stolen or lost mobile phone.
1. Google services for tracing lost mobile phones
The first solution to find a lost mobile phone is to use Google services. By connecting to the Find my device service and logging into the Google account (the same active on the device you are looking for), you can access an interactive map showing the exact location of the Android smartphone. At this point, if the mobile phone is still on, you can locate it, make it ring or send a message that will be shown on the display.
To use this function, remote localization (in Google Settings) and geolocation must be active on the device in question.
2. Manufacturers app to track lost mobile phone
Smartphone manufacturers, such as Samsung and Apple, also provide tools to track down lost cell phones. Samsung devices, for example, are registered on the brand's website since purchase, which offers a search tool that can be activated with device synchronization. The same thing goes for Apple, which allows you to find the lost device through the “Find my Iphone” service, in the iCloud section of the Settings.
3. App to track lost or stolen cell phone
Finally, there are also several applications, downloadable from the Apple Store and Google Play, which perform a similar function, with the aim of helping you find a lost mobile phone. let's see two examples together:
Cerberus: is an anti-theft solution for Android. It is a paid app that offers the user several useful functions: remote control from the internet, remote control via SMS and customized automatic alerts with AutoTask. But it also has advanced features, such as: locating devices on the map, triggering an alarm, blocking and clearing data, taking pictures of the thief, backing up data and much more.
GadgetTrak: is the paid app that can increase the chances of finding the stolen iPhone thanks to the generation of position reports (monitored through the app site) and the ability to take pictures of the thief. The further plus is that any thief does not have the possibility to uninstall the app (he can, however, turn off the device and reset it).
What to do if the mobile is not traceable?
We have seen several solutions that show you how to track down a stolen cell phone. But what should you do if you realize that device recovery is just impossible? The answer is to limit the damage and at least avoid the consequences: cyber espionage, identity theft and invasion of privacy, just to name a few.
