Many of peoples have expensive phones and are buying new phones day by day. Normally we can heard the news that someone's phone is stolen or lost. You can also be the part of them. Just think you bought a new expensive phone or you have already that and your phone is lost. It feels like you lost your girlfriend/boyfriend or your wife/husband tell you for divorce. It is a big problem to find or track your phone. Maybe you just not get upset for your phone more than your private and important data, contacts, messages and applications. Now after reading this blog you can track your phone, backup and delete your data from phone remotely. Before you start shopping for your next handset, there are a few things you can still try. All major smartphone platforms offer an easy, built-in method to track your device when it's not with you, and they are extremely effective too.
iPhone
You can use Apple's Find My iPhone service and can track a phone's physical location, and more. But it needs to be switched on - hopefully, if you've already lost your phone, then Find My iPhone was already on, but if you still have the phone with you, the first thing you want to do is turn this setting on.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone.
Make sure that the switch next to Find My iPhone is in the green on position.
You can now track your iOS device using an app on another iPhone or iPad, or using the browser. This is how the app works:
-
Sign in with your iCloud account - the same one you're using on the iPhone you're trying to find.
Now all the devices that are signed in to that iCloud account will be listed in the app.
Tap any device to see its location.
In case you've misplaced the iPhone, then this should help you track it down, but you will see some more options at the bottom of the screen which you can use. You will see three buttons at the bottom - Play Sound, Lost Mode and Erase iPhone - or iPad, as the case may be.
Play Sound will play a loud alarm tone that will help you find your iOS device if it is nearby.
Tapping Lost Mode opens up a page where you need to set a 4-digit passcode to lock your iOS device if it doesn't have one already. If it already has a passcode, then you can use this button to lock the phone remotely, so other people can't use it.
In Lost Mode, you can also enter a phone number and a message that will be displayed on the lock screen. You can enter messages like, "Hello, please return my iPhone. Contact me now". You can also track your device this way.
The Erase iPhone (or Erase iPad) button deletes all the data on the the iOS device, in case you're worried about sensitive data falling into the wrong hands. However, you won't be able to use Find my iPhone to physically track the phone after you erase it.
The features mentioned above are accessible via the Web too. Just head to
iCloud and sign in with your Apple ID. The steps and buttons are the same otherwise.
Android
The Android Device Manager works similarly to Find My iPhone. You can either use the device manager on the
Internet, or download the
app, to use from another Android device. The tracking is on by default. This is how you use it:
-
Sign in with your Google Account - the same one as the missing phone.
Now you'll see your Android device on the top left.
If it isn't the one you're looking for, click the tiny down arrow next to the device name and select the correct device from the list.
This shows you the location of your missing device, but again, there are three options you can chose from: Ring, Lock and Erase.
Clicking Ring will make your device ring - useful for finding the phone if it is nearby - just missing in your home or office, for example.
Click Lock if you've lost your phone.
In the pop-up, enter a new password, and click on Confirm. You can also enter a recovery message and your phone number. These will be displayed on the lost device.
Click Lock when you're done to lock the device remotely.
To locate the device, click the GPS icon on the top-right of the box, next to the pencil icon. You need to have location access enabled on your Android device for this feature to work. The device can now only be unlocked using the password you just set.
The Erase button performs a factory reset on your device, which is important if you believe you can't recover the phone. But once you do this, then much like Find My iPhone, the Android Device Manager will also not work.
If you have an Android device, you can also track your lost device using the
Android Device Manager app - after you log in with the same Google account as the missing device, the steps are the same.
BlackBerry10
The BlackBerry Protect service also has these same features, but you'll need to turn BlackBerry Protect and its tracking service on first. If you haven't lost your phone yet, make sure these settings are on.
Go to Settings > BlackBerry Protect.
Flip the BlackBerry Protect switch to On.
Tap Location Services.
Flip the Location Services switch to On.
Tap Back to save changes.
To find your missing phone, just follow these steps:
-
Click View Location.
If the service can find your phone, its location will appear on a map.
As with the other
You can click the Play Sound button to make your phone ring loudly. This will help you find it when you've forgotten the phone behind the couch cushions.
Display a Message lets you show a custom message on your homescreen even if the device is locked
Lock Device lets you set a new password, and locks the phone.
Wipe Device performs a factory reset, but once you do this, you can't track the phone again.
Windows Phone
Windows Phone users also need to make sure that the Find My Phone setting is enabled on their devices, so the first thing to do is turn that on now, when you still have your phone.
On your phone go to Settings > Find My Phone.
Check Use push notifications... and Save my phone's location periodically and before the battery runs out to make it easier to find.
Go to Settings > Location and flip the switch to On.
Now, you can use the browser on your computer or another device to find your phone if you misplace it or lose it in any other way. This is what you need to do:
-
Your Windows Phone device will show up at the top.
Click Find My Phone to locate your device.
If you haven't checked Use push notifications... mentioned in step 2, Microsoft will ask you to set up SMS based alerts. If you are in India, you need to scroll down all the way and select "Bharat" written in Devnagri script.
If you are setting up SMS alerts, enter your phone number, click the check box below and click Done.
Clicking Find My Phone (above the map) will locate the device on the map.
After you've found your phone on the map, you can carry out certain functions, as with the other platforms.
Ring makes the phone ring, so you can locate it if it is nearby.
Lock asks you for a new password, and locks the phone, so other people can't use it.
Erase deletes all data on the phone, but you can't track it after this.
