What if they rob their smartphone?

If the inevitable occurs, there are steps you can take to reduce the damage you suffered, even recovering your stolen equipment.

The first thing is to make sure the thief can't access the phone and the data he contains.

“The smartphone lock should always be activated”, says Andreas Mayer, a Germany crime prevention officer.

You even have the possibility of encryption, where users of the Android system can use the security levels in their minds while the iPhone is predefined.

But the two “Android Davis Manager” and “Find iPhone” also allow you to block smartphone or delete the data you have stored in it, but this is also a race against time. Most of this is only valid when the phone is connected to the Internet.

You probably need to block and erase the data from the phone if it's stolen, but that's not enough.

Security experts suggest that you change the password for E-mail and social networking that you may have registered.

On the contrary, call the police. This information can be very valuable to request”, he continues.

If the police can recover the stolen device, it's important that you have my number, a unique serial code every phone has.

You can find this on your phone menu and keep a note of it somewhere.

But you also have to make a return to the phone in case they've been erased.

This can be done in Apple smartphones via “iCloud” or connecting to “Tunes”.

While smartphone users “Android” have an account in “Google” can receive their data from their saving in “Google Drive” and “Google Photos”
