It is more than normal: everything is found on our devices, from numbers of friends and relatives to personal information and data of applications and websites.
Today we will explain to you how it is possible to find a smartphone using applications and other devices, let's start!
For Apple devices
Let's start with Apple devices.There is a free service provided by Apple called Find my iPhone and will allow you to track down your Apple device, whether an iPhone, iPad or Mac.
Be careful though, to ensure that this service can work it is necessary that the device is on and connected to the Internet, whether it is through a router or a personal connection.
In addition to this, the iPhone or the device must be traceable.I had already talked about it in another video, but we do unrepasso: to activate the location of your Apple device you will have to open the settings and select Privacy.
You will find a item called Location, you will have to check that the lever is on ON.Now you will have to activate the service find my iPhone and do it is moltosemprice.
After opening the settings click on iCloud and immediately after find my iPhone.Here you will have to place the lever on ON and IlServizio will be made active.
Based on your version of the iOS system you may have to click on your name before having access to the iCloud section after opening the settings, but the rest of the process is the same.
Send last position
Another useful function that you could activate is located under that lever and is called Send last position.It is not mandatory but if activated it will allow you to know the latest registered position of your device before it was off.
It could be useful if it was a battery lavivostra was bad or, at worst, if the iPhone had been collected by someone and taken away.
At this point it's time to get to the computer and find your smartphone, let's see how to do it!
How to find your smartphone with "Find my iPhone"
First you will have to connect to the iCloud website and access with your Apple ID.An icon or a voice called it should appear in front of you find my iPhone and by clicking it a map will appear with the location of the device.If you have more Apple devices it is possible that what you have lost does not appear immediately on the screen.
To make the way you do it you will have to click all the devices and then select the name of what you are interested in.
Emit sound
At this point you can give controls to your device.The first option is emitted sound, and the name is fairly explanatory: it serves to make the device play in order to attract someone's attention or possibly yours if you are in the area.
Lost mode
The second option is lost mode, which will block the phone will emit messages and information on the screen in order to allow Achi where it would find it to get in touch with you.
Initialize the iPhone
The last beach, in the event that for any reason it is not possible to recover the device is initialize the iPhone.This will reset the smartphone in order to delete all data inside.This obviously includes photos, videos, contacts, any personal data saved in memory and connected to sites visited via the device.
As I said, it is the emergency option, to be used in case it is clear that that smartphone will no longer return to your hands: using it you will prevent some attackers from using it to exploit your personal data.
All options found my iPhone are also available through an app called in the same way downloadable on iPhone and iPad, so give them to use in the event that you had another Apple device or a friend who owns one and thatcan help you.
After talking about Apple we move on to Android devices!
Locate the smartphone with Android devices
As in the case of Apple, the first thing we will have to do is activate the location on our device.As usual Android is not consistently consistent when it comes to his settings, so it may be necessary to tinker a bit to find the various authorizations.
In general, the most common thing is that everything is found in the settings.From here you will have to click on the Google settings and at this point it opens up the world.
Find device
It is possible that simply after clicking there is among the possible options that call finds a device.By clicking it you can set up on the location and from there decide what to use for the search: if an app on the device or Google itself.
In both cases, the same thing that had happened with Apple will happen, that is, a map will open with the position of your smartphone and you will have the same 3 options as before, albeit with different names.
Be careful because the reset of the device may not be available from the app, this because of the necessary authorizations.
You can activate those authorizations or do the search from Google, which should make the reset possible since it is no longer a device app but something external.
Don't ask me the specifications because I swear I have no idea, but I work I don't complain!
Locate this device remotely and allow remote blocking and cancellation
In any case, on other devices it may not be so simple, in fact after opening the Google settings you may have to click Safety item.At this point you will find some items with respective levers next to which you can set up on ON and OFF.
In this case, those that turn to turn: locate this device remotely and allow remote blocking and cancellation.
By activating theseifying you will activate the respective options when you look for your device.
In other cases, all these options may be available directly by opening the basic settings and entering some subcategory such as safety or location, in short, based on the situation, you may have to do some skips from one section to another your options.
Find the device using a computer
If you want to find the device using a computer or in any case unbrowser Internet, you can obviously access the Google search site.Just search the search engine find phone or find my device and, if the Google account of the lost device will be the same ACUI you are connected on that browser, the first result you will find will be a map with the position of the smrtphone.
You will also have access to the options that we have already talked about, then Losquillo, the block and the reset.
Eventually you can also search on Google Management of Android devices and, after accessing the same Google account of the smartphone, you can use that site for location.
From Alex it's all, we see you at the next video to get to know, bye!
