Theft or loss of a phone can be a big problem, especially when the device was expensive and, what's worse, the data was important for us there. Fortunately, we now have such a possibility that we will no longer be standing on the lost position. It is best to think about security at an early stage, immediately after buying a phone.
On the Internet we have a rich set of programs that make it easier to find a stolen or broken cell. As a rule, they offer several functions. There will be, among other things, the possibility of tracking the device with the help of GPS, sending a notification about a change of SIM card or blocking and deleting confidential data remotely.
