In different situations, being able to locate a phone can save lives. Finding a lost cell phone, monitoring your children returning from school, etc... These are reasons that may lead us to consider using one of the cell phone tracking apps.
When we talk about cell phone location, we can consider the positive use, to take care of your loved ones or find your stolen device, but inevitably there are abuses.
You may be tempted to track the location of someone you want to monitor their cell phone.
Please be aware that it is completely prohibited to collect someone's location information without their consent.
Knowing this, let's get to know the cell phone tracking apps.
3 best apps to track cell phones
Google Find My Device
The first app you can install to quickly locate your device is Find my Device. This is an app created by Google that allows you to locate your lost Android device and even lock it.
Specifically, in this app you will see where your smartphone, tablet or watch is on a map.
If your device has no more battery or the location function is not possible, you will have access to your last known position. In places like airports or shopping centers, you can even use the building's interior map to find your cell phone using Google Maps.
If you are near him but don't see him, you can play a full volume sound to locate him. With Find my Device, you can even check the battery level and network status where your device is located.
If you don't want the person who owns the cell phone to access information, you can delete all content on the device. Otherwise, you can block them and add a message or number on the screen to help the person contact you.
Wheres My Droid
In the same style as Google's Find my Device tool, we find the “Wheres My Droid” application, that is, “where is my Android phone? “. This app has more than 10 million downloads. Here are the different features you will have access to:
- Find the phone by making it ring/vibrate
- Find phone using GPS location
- Remote Device Lock – (Requires Android 6.0.1 or lower)
- Remote SD card erase
- Remote erase phone data
- Passcode protection to prevent unauthorized changes to applications.
- Notification in case of change of SIM card or phone number
Phone Tracker by Number
The 2 apps we just looked at are more focused on phone loss or theft.
The tool we'll discover now allows this, but it will also allow people to be tracked using their phone numbers (with their consent, of course).
The tool has already been downloaded more than 50 million times and is rated 4.3 out of 5. To show the success of this app, it has been translated into 44 languages so everyone can enjoy it.
