What To Do If My Smartphone Is Lost OR Stolen?

Every household in the country and beyond owns a smartphone– android, iOS or Windows. The smartphone culture made a boom in the past decade because it’s the best way to keep you connected to the world. A normal person would use the smartphone for cliché purposes- calling, internet access, pictures, memory device, Google apps etc to name a few. However, there’s a reason that the devices have the prefix ‘smart’ associated with them. Let us know why?

1.) If your smartphone is lost:

Your stress hormones will definitely get a boost in the unfortunate event of a misplaced or lost smartphone. In such a situation all you need to do is, type “find your phone” in the Google search tab, via a laptop or some other device. Thereafter, you need to log in to the Gmail account which was associated with your lost android phone.

• You can now ring your phone on full volume even if it is on silent mode. You can also use Android Device Manager to find your phone’s location on a map.
• You can also lock your phone by choosing the ‘lock’ option in the drop down list. This will activate Android Device Manager as your device administrator which is required to remotely lock or erase your phone and to change the screen lock. You can also put a note or provide an alternate mobile number on the lock screen so that the finder may ring you back.
• You can sign out of the Gmail account linked with your android so that no one else can access it.
• You can erase the data on your phone to avoid unwanted access to your personal information. Your phone will be erased the next time it’s online. However, if it doesn’t come online again, it won’t be erased.

3) Recovering deleted text messages:

Smartphone users at times accidentally delete crucial messages in a hurry or by mistake only to realise later that they shouldn’t have been deleted. However, there is absolutely no need to panic because there are certain ways to retrieve such messages back onto the device. Although we delete text messages , numbers, and call log from the device the sim card still contains the files and technically speaking doesn’t delete it permanently.

Sim cards are just like mass storage medium and don’t immediately delete the matter from their memory.

• If your text messages are stored on to the sim card, you can retrieve the deleted messages by the ‘Data Doctor Recovery’ app.
• For Android users, ‘File Expert’ proves to be a wonderful file manager app to access local files and date and also to restore deleted messages.
• For iOS users, ‘Document 2 Free’ file manager is the best app to backup your data and restore it later. The restore data would also include deleted text messages.
