Misplacing a device, or having one stolen, is a stressful occurrence. Along with the inconvenience of no longer having a smartphone or tablet comes the risk of unauthorised access to banking accounts and the potential for identity theft.
With this in mind, Kaspersky experts suggest following this 5-step plan to locate your lost device.
Step 1: Try to locate it via another device
The first step that could help to find your phone is to activate the Find My Device feature for Android or Find My for iOS to locate it. You can enter your Google or Apple ID account from the other device and see the list of devices linked to the account. It is important that in order to use any functionality related to the device location, all those features must be activated in advance.
Step 2: Block your phone and watch for scammers
