如何：查找丢失或被盗的智能手机
Contents
为最坏的情况做好准备
由于现代智能手机长期以来不仅仅只是一种通讯设备，因此在考虑寻找丢失或被盗手机的方法之前，我们应该先说几句有关预防措施的信息，以最大程度地减少您的个人信息落入不法之徒的可能性。
因此，在智能手机上具有可靠的保护非常重要。确保在设备上启用密码和指纹认证。许多信息安全专家不建议使用人脸识别功能，因为它可以随您的照片一起绕开。值得注意的是，正在不断改进人脸识别算法，而最新的设备不太容易出现此问题。如果您确定发现丢失设备的人无法以任何方式获取您的照片，则可以安全地使用此身份验证方法。但是，密码或指纹身份验证仍然更加可靠。很明显，每次您想使用手机时都要扫描指纹或输入PIN码可能很不方便，但请考虑一下一个事实，即您完全不熟悉您的人可以访问您的照片，银行应用程序，电子邮件以及其他你的个人信息。
如果已安装适当的应用程序并正确配置了智能手机，则查找丢失或被盗的智能手机将更加容易。同样重要的是要注意，您应该始终记下手机的IMEI和序列号（而不是在该智能手机上）。如果您必须联系服务提供商或警察，则需要这些数据。您可以通过拨打“ *＃06＃”轻松找到手机的IMEI号码。
如何查找丢失或被盗的iPhone
要预配置iPhone，您应该执行以下操作：
- 打开设置;
- 在屏幕顶部单击您的名字；
- 单击“ iCloud”；
- 滚动到“查找我的iPhone”项并打开它；
您还应该启用选项“发送最后一个位置”，它将发送iPhone的位置，直到智能手机的电池耗尽。
现在，如果您丢失了智能手机，则需要转到iCloud.com并登录到您的Apple帐户。接下来，打开“查找iPhone”，您可以在地图上查看智能手机的最后位置，直到电池耗尽为止（如果电池仍在充电，则显示当前位置）。
In addition, this Apple's service allows you to:
- make your iPhone play sound — this function will be useful if you know for sure that the phone is somewhere nearby, but forgot where exactly it is;
- block the phone;
- send a message to your iPhone, can contain, for example, a contact phone number to call if the phone is found;
- completely delete all your data from the iPhone, so that the smartphone would be more difficult to sell or use in case of theft.
How to find lost or stolen Android device
To pre-configure your Android smartphone, you should do the following:
- open Google Play Store;
- find and install "Find My Device" app from Google (or you can follow the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.adm to download this program)
- open this app and log in to your Google account.
Now, if you lose your Android smartphone, you will have to open https://myaccount.google.com/find-your-phone in your browser, log in to your Google account, select the missing device from the list and click "Find", and the phone will appear on the map. In addition, the Google service allows you to:
- check the system for suspicious logins;
- lock the phone;
- make a remote call on the phone;
- remotely log out of your Google Account;
- contact your operator;
- remotely delete all your data from your Android device.
Important notes:
In order to correctly detect your smartphone, the location function should be enabled on it.
If your phone is stolen and you find out its location, but don't know exactly what kind of place it is, you had better report the theft to the police rather than take a risk. Don't act on your own – pass the info about location of your device to the police.
