With Samsung Find My Mobile you can easily locate, lock, delete or otherwise control your lost smartphone. We’ll show you how to use practical remote access.
With Find My Mobile, Samsung offers its users the opportunity to locate, lock and delete smartphones and tablets through web-based remote access over the Internet. Of course, you can also locate your cell phone in other ways, but the Samsung solution offers many advantages – such as offline location.
If a device is lost or stolen, Find My Mobile is the first point of contact to find your phone or, if necessary, to block thieves from accessing your data.
You can use Find My Mobile to make your smartphone ring, block it with a message on the lock screen, perform a backup or remove all data in the memory and SD card.
With a log function you can also track the location of a device and check dialed calls and received messages. In conjunction with the release of remote access to users of another Samsung account, the service is also suitable to a certain extent as a monitoring function for worried parents.
The following sections show how you can activate Find My Mobile on a Samsung device and locate and control it remotely in the web browser.
After you have connected your smartphone to the Samsung Cloud, you can activate remote access.
If you have activated remote access, you can then locate, lock and even delete your smartphone via a web interface.
