In order to return a phone, lost or stolen, you should immediately activate certain mechanisms that are in each of the mobile ecosystems. Sergey Kuzmenko, senior specialist in testing digital products of Roskachestvo, spoke about this.
As the expert told the agency “Prime”, on the iPhone and iPad immediately after purchase, you must activate the function of remote access to the smartphone – “Locator”. If the device is lost, you can open the application on another Apple device and wait for the loss to be displayed on the card, or use the service via the Internet by entering the address icloud.com/find in the browser and then logging into your Apple ID.
If you lose your Android smartphone or tablet or Wear OS watch, you can use your Google Account to search if Find My Device is enabled. However, a number of conditions must be met that are related to the operation of the device and the connection to Google. Through it, a notification will be sent to the lost device, and information about where the phone is (or was) will appear on the map, after which it can be blocked, as well as delete data or ring at full volume.
Similarly, the search for Huawei / Honor smartphones is arranged. After logging into your account, the options for temporary blocking, complete deletion of data, and also ringing the device will be available similar to those for iOS and Android.
