0151 339 9284 If you lose your phone it's not necessarily gone forever. But prepare for the worst and configure it NOW! Don't wait until it’s gone…… set it up now and try it out. The solutions here will require your phone to be switched on in order to give you an accurate idea of its location and to access options to remotely lock or wipe it. If the battery runs out or it’s stolen and switched off, you may be out of luck. For each of these solutions you will need to be signed-in to either your Google or Apple account on the phone before you begin. Go on…..set it up NOW!!
How to find a lost Android phone
How to find a lost iPhone
Install a free app from Google Play called Find My Device (previously called Device Manager), it’s the easiest way to track an Android phone. Once installed you can track your phone by visiting www.google.com/android/find from any computer or device. Find My Device offers options to ring (great if it’s down the back of your couch or in a bag), lock or erase your device, should it go missing. Another option, if your phone is switched off, is to check your location history by visiting www.myaccount.google.com/activitycontrols to find its last reported location. Tap on Manage Activity under Location History. You'll now see a map of all the places in which your device has reported its location during a time period that you specify. The last known location is where Google last saw it before the battery died, and if your luck's in it may still be there. Note that location history uses Wi-Fi- and mobile signals rather than GPS, so it won't be as accurate as Find My Device.
To locate a lost Apple device you need Find My iPhone - but before you lose your iPhone you'll need to ensure it's set up on your device. Just tap on Settings, iCloud, then scroll down to and enable Find My iPhone. Also turn on the option below, which sends your last known location just before your battery dies. Find My iPhone requires location services to be active, too, which you'll find under Settings, Privacy, Location Services. Having set up Find My iPhone, you have two ways to track a lost device. Firstly, you can use the free Find My iPhone app on another Apple device to track your phone. Alternatively, you can sign into your account on a desktop browser at www.iCloud.com then tap Find My iPhone. If you have multiple Apple devices select the one that's been misplaced. Having selected your phone, Find My iPhone will show you on a map its last known location, and offer options to sound an alarm, lock it or erase its contents.

How to use WhatsApp on your computer WhatsApp is a great messaging app which has now reached one billion daily mobile users. Conveniently, you can also access it from your computer too. This lets you get a better look at photos, makes it easier to type longer messages and once set up, also gives you access to your account if your phone is elsewhere (as long as it’s switched on). Make sure your phone is connected to a data or Wi-Fi network as you need to access WhatsApp Web via your device since that's the connection for your account. Go to www.web.whatsapp.com on your computer where you'll see a QR code. Next, open up WhatsApp on your phone. On Android: tap the 3-dot menu button in the Chats screen then tap WhatsApp Web. On iPhone: go to Settings then WhatsApp Web. The phone app will then access your camera so you can scan the QR code on your computer screen. After you scan the QR code, WhatsApp Web will open up and all of your messages will be synced between the two devices. You can now start chatting away and access previous conservations from your mobile app. Save your WhatsApp Web browser tab on your computer to your Favourites or Bookmarks for future use. Alternatively, you can download the WhatsApp Web program for Mac OS X 10.9 and higher or Windows 8 and higher by visiting www.whatsapp.com/download The whole set up take less than five minutes so you might as well do it right away - or at least once you’ve configured your phone as described earlier on Page 5 to help you find your device should you lose it.
