Have you read the previous posts on how to track your phone using the Device manager or IMEI number? If not, please do.
Apart from aforementioned methods, you can access your lost phone via applications. However, the applications must be pre-installed or downloaded on the lost device. Let's call this a preventive method.
Several famous phone companies (for example, Samsung, Xiaomi or HTC) have their own locating apps, but they need to be activated prior to the theft. However, if you do not have a pre-installed phone-tracking app, you can download one of these FOUR free apps:
1. LocateMyDroid. Another Android app, this one is also small, but very useful. In addition to the standard features, it also has an option of sending a ‘GPS flare’ (in case your phone battery is almost dead), a text with an ‘attention word’ and the notification for if the SIM card has been changed.
2. Android Lost App: This app is small, but powerful. With it, you can check on your phone via a website or through a text message. It has the same features as all of the utilities we have talked about before (phone lock, trigger sound/vibration), and also takes pictures. It has a simple minimalist interface and a wide variety of features.
3. Prey: Another multi-platform app, Prey allows you to use it for up to three devices for free, including PCs and tablets. You just have to sync your devices with the app, and in case one of them goes missing, use your account to track it. The app runs in the background and does not track your location while you are the one who has it.
4. Lookout Mobile Security. This app is available for both Android and iOS. It is very similar to the previous app, as it has the same bonus’ features. For iOS users, it offers a custom message for the lock screen. For Android users, it provides an option to take a photo of a person who tried (and failed) to unlock your phone.
We know how painful it can be if your phone get stolen especially if it is expensive or contain vital informations. This article, we hope,has been helpful.
