We all love our smartphones and are most of the times hooked to their screens for entertainment, work, travel and what not. We often insured them and apply screen protectors to save them from physical damages. However, what can be done if you have a bad day and had your smartphone lost or stolen. In such scenarios, your personal and professional information can be at risk, which can prove havoc. That said, here we are giving you some applications that can save your day and can help you track, lock or reset your lost smartphone
Where's My Driod
Where's My Droid is an app that comes with a number of features to help you track your lost Android smartphone. The application has features such as, Ring that forces your smartphone to ring, even if it is on silent mode. You just need to send a text, which will be your ‘ring attention’ word on your smartphone from any other handset. Next is the GPS feature that will find the geographic location of your phone by fetching the GPS coordinates with a link to Google maps. The inbuilt GPS flare feature will send an alert message carrying the last location of your smartphone (before its battery dies or someone switches it off) to the preset email id or the phone number.
Another interesting feature in this app is the camera feature that allows you to take the pictures with your smartphone cameras. The app then sends the images with a link where you can view the image to identify the person or the surroundings. You can also lock and wipe the data of your phone on the removal of the SIM card.
Another feature packed application to track your lost device is Cerberus. The application offers three ways to protect your device. First, remote control through the
website, second remote control via SMS (text messages) from another phone and third, the automatic alerts. The features include: locate the smartphone through the application’s inbuilt GPS and track it, lock the device with a code, trigger a loud alarm, even if the device is set to silent mode, take pictures, screenshots and even record videos, to identify the thief, get the location history, to see where the device has been in the past and the list goes on.
Besides, you can hide Cerberus app from the app drawer, so the person using your phone will have no idea about such an application installed. You can also record audio from the microphone, get a list of last calls sent and received, get information about cell phone network and Wi-Fi network the device is connected to, and nearby Wi-Fi networks. It is free for a week then can opt for a lifetime license by paying a small amount, which will make the app work on three devices simultaneously.
With Lost Android app, you can remotely control your lost handset from the app’s
official site or via SMS. You can wipe phone, lock phone, erase SD card, locate by GPS or network (provided your phone is connected to internet and GPS is turned on in the application’s settings), start alarm with flashing screen, send SMS from web page, read sent and received SMS messages, check battery, IMEI number, etc.
No we are not anti-Apple and here is the proof. The ‘Find my iPhone’ is the standard inbuilt feature in Apple devices, which allows you to track the handset to its current location. The feature can also make the device play a sound so you can find it, or even remotely wipe all of your data. It can be activated through settings- iCloud- Find my iPhone.
