Has your smartphone disappeared?Act quickly!Here are some essential rules to try to find it, but also to avoid seeing your data reused by others.Mainly your bank data if you have paired your phone with paid services, for example.

Real pocket computers, smartphones contain our whole life, our photos, our contacts and more.So much data that we do not want to see the hands of strangers fall during the loss or theft of his device.Fortunately, there are several solutions that will allow you to locate your phone remotely, block it and in some cases delete your data.

The first rule in the event of loss or theft of your phone is that you have to act quickly.In most cases, thieves will try to obtain access to the phone to possibly recover your data.But above all to be able to use it themselves or resell later.There are at least two methods to locate and lock your phone remotely.Please note: these will depend on the preliminary precautions that you have taken.

First method to locate your lost phone: using the IMEI number

This somewhat radical method has the advantage of being able to be carried out in an instant by your operator.It consists in communicating to him the IMEI number (International Mobile Equipment Identity) of your smartphone.Thanks to it, it can locate its approximate position, depending on the last antenna used and blocking it remotely.

There are several ways to recover your IMEI number.The most common is to type, on the phone keyboard, the code *#06#.The problem is that you probably no longer have access to your phone.Note that some manufacturers, however, print this unique identifier on the box of your device.If you have kept it, this is an opportunity to bring it out.If you still have the bill for your smartphone, you can also try to ask the store where you bought it, providing proof of purchase and proof of identity.

Second method to locate your lost phone: use a remote management service

Remote blocking by the operator avoids certain uses of your phone.However, it does not block all functions and does not delete the data from the device.To do this, it will be necessary to use a remote management service, such as the "Locate" function at Apple or "Locate my device" on the side of Google.Preferably and for obvious security reasons, avoid using third -party software.

Note that again, it will be functions to set up on your smartphone before its loss to be effective.In particular by activating the remote location functions.Finally, this method will only work if your device is on and connected to the Internet.It is therefore necessary to act quickly.

Find your iPhone thanks to the Localize application

If you have lost your iPhone, you will have to have activated the "Locate my iPhone" function available in the settings, by clicking on your Apple identifier at the top of the page and by locating you.You can then use the native application locate from another apple device, such as a Mac or an iPad. Sur Mac, elle se trouve par défaut dans Finder > Applications, pas besoin de la télécharger.

This application will allow you to ring it, lock it or delete it remotely.The same operation is possible from any browser, whether on a computer or not, by connecting to iCloud.com, where you will find the same functions, again on the app locate.You can also try to ring your iPhone with your Apple Watch (open the control center by holding your finger pressed on the lower part of the watch dial, then press the blue smartphone -shaped blue icon).

How to find a lost iPhone even if the battery is flat?

Find your Android smartphone thanks to the Locate my device application

The principle is generally the same on Android.Again, you will have to have previously configured the geolocation of your smartphone in your settings, where you will activate two options: "Locate this device remotely" and "authorize locking and deletion of remote data".

As soon as you can use the Google app Locate my device from another Android device, or connect to the https: // www site.Google.com/Android/Find.From there, you will be able to locate your smartphone, ring it, lock it or erase it.Alternatively you can try to ring your Android smartphone from a Wearos watch, from the Find my phone application.
