"In the case of Android phones, the easiest way to view the location of the device and the information on it is to use the Android Device Manager system. Pre-registration is required on the dedicated site, then from the menu provided, the device can be deleted or locked, tracked on Google Maps - in case of theft - and can be ordered to ring at maximum volume for 5 minutes, in order to be able to be located faster, in case he got lost ", explained Bogdan Beleiu - ThePhoneGeeks.

Another option would be to use Android Lost, which can be installed without having access to the phone. The application can be installed from the Play Store, from the Google account with which the device is synchronized, after which an SMS is sent to the phone in question, with the text "androidlost register".

Thus, the application activates automatically and can take pictures with the phone's camera and allows the reading of incoming SMS without the user knowing it.

Google Maps history can also provide the exact position of your device, even if this feature is turned off. After accessing the Google Maps system, the current date and the last time the device was recognized are chosen from the calendar, after which the locations and even the route of the lost or stolen phone will appear on the map.

IOS users have the Lost Mode feature, which allows the user to lock the device with a password, in case it is lost, to protect the data on the phone. Another useful option is the Find My iPhone application, which requires an Internet connection via Wi-Fi or mobile data.

"There are also applications through which users can access their remote phone, such as TeamViewer: Remote Control, Splashtop 2 Remote Desktop or Jump Desktop, which have a system that is installed on the desktop and phone and allows control of each other. All the 3 mentioned applications are available for both Android and iOS ", Bogdan Beleiu also specified.

It is also important to know that when the phone is switched off or does not have a SIM card, it will not be able to be located. However, given the need to surf the Internet, your phone will definitely be connected to a Wi-Fi network, at which point it will be able to be blocked by the user-activated system.
