Losing someone's smartphone or laptop can be worse than losing their wallet, as these devices contain a lot of personal data that no one would want to fall into the hands of third parties.
It is possible that those who find them will be able to gain access to bank account, email and social media details.
Of course, there is good news, since there are applications available on the online market through which we can locate our stolen device and protect our data.
Classic examples of such applications are Find my iPhone for iPhone and Android Lost for Android phones.
With them you can locate your device, lock it, and even delete all your data, in case its recovery is impossible.
In fact, Android Lost has the ability to send you the thief's number once he places his own SIM card in your phone.
In fact, such applications have also helped the police several times, as authorities used information from similar software to find stolen items and return them to their owners.
Anti-theft smartphone and laptop applications
Prey: Supported on Android devices and Apple and Windows computers. When your device is stolen, you can track it by locating it via wireless networks, and even use the camera to see the thief's face. It's free, with a paid option if you want more options or to track more than one device.
LockItTight: This software, which is supported on Android and Windows devices, can take various screenshots of the device's screen so you know exactly what the person who stole your device is doing. Of course, it also supports tracking.
StealthGenie: This is essentially a tracking software and is supported on almost all mobile phones. It is undetectable and collects data about calls, messages and other activities, which it sends to a secure account. It also supports location tracking, deleting your data in case of theft and notifying you if someone tries to use your stolen mobile with another number. The only negative is that the application is only paid.
