INTRODUCTION,
There are now great Android smartphones with super specifications and features, but of course, all of this adds to the price of the device. So buying a new smartphone can be extremely expensive right now. Therefore, even if you have lost your manual or accidentally stolen it, it is always worthwhile to help protect your investment by saving unnecessary expenses.
Most of us now rely heavily on our smartphones for the amount of personal and important information stored there or the services we use. Even if your personal data is backed up elsewhere, keeping your phone in someone else’s hands can be insecure, especially considering the number of identity thefts that are currently taking place. Therefore, it is a real advantage to use an Android stealing app that can help you find or retrieve your smartphone. Some apps allow you to remotely control your smartphone, which can be very useful if it goes wrong.
Of course, such security apps may not always guarantee that your phone can be recovered, but they can give you the best chance of doing so. For best results, make sure your phone’s location feature is enabled. The accuracy of the tracking may vary, but it is better not to.
No one wants to think about stealing their phone, but the truth is it can happen to anyone. So, having a stealing app on your device is always a good idea. Google-made Android provides security, including the option to find my device that can locate a lost phone, but there are also some great third-party options. So here I have gathered a list of “The 5 Best Android Anti-Theft Apps to Protect Your Phone.”
Find My Device.
Find My Device is Google’s anti-theft app and one of the best security options on Android. It allows you to remotely lock your phone, unplug your device and wipe its contents. You can see the location of your phone on a map and call it through the accompanying app. If you lock your phone remotely, you can write a lock screen message that permanently displays your device until you turn it off.
The Find My Device feature is enabled by default, but it is wise to check if you have accidentally disabled it. To check the status of my device detection, go to Settings> Google> Security and tap Find My Device. If the feature is not enabled, push the toggle at the top of the window to the On location. There are two ways to access the Find My Devices feature via the Search My Device web app or smartphone app.
Cerberus.
Cerberus is well established as the leading third-party piracy app for Android. It has a rich set of features that its competitors struggle to survive. The three main ways in which Cerberus protects your device are remote control via the web portal, remote control via SMS, and automatic alerts. The app can detect and track your phone, lock your device, initiate an alarm on your phone, upload call logs, and wipe out internal and external memory.
Cerberus will help ensure that anyone who steals your phone is not harmed by the law. It can secretly take photos and videos of anyone who has your device and then upload them to the cloud as you see fit. You can even record audio from your phone’s mic.
