of all the things you can lose a smartphone is probably the worst they're expensive they're precious and more often than not they have a lot of our personal data they're also thin small and kind of slippery pretty easy to lose their have stolen with an iPhone things are really easy find my iphone is part of the OS itself and you're prompted to set it up from the minute you get your device but with Android things are a bit more complicated display Google's love and cloud services it doesn't actually offer you a way to track your lost phone android is open now and it gives a company's a way to do even more than what you can do with your iPhone and I guess we're gonna try some of them now lookout is really the gold standard for this kind of thing it has tons of features and matches all of apple's offerings it can even take a picture of someone who tried to unlock your phone and email it over to you the only catch is that for these features you're gonna have to pay to ninety-nine a month or 2999 a year there are cheaper options though cerberus lets you record photos and audio and even check for unauthorized sim cards in your phone where's my droid is also free but it's more designed for when you've lost your phone in your house or in the couch cushions as opposed to when it's been stolen or lost far away ultimately there are plenty of reasons why you might never get your phone back that's why it's a good idea to turn on automatic uploads to Dropbox for your camera and make sure you're always backing things up to Google you'll be able to restore a lot of apps and data to any new phone you get though unfortunately it won't get everything so look this may be harsh but the thing is devices come and go sometimes by choice other times by chance the most important thing as always is to make sure your data stays protected this is mine you
