Lastly, the Set Guardian option allows you to designate a friend or family member as someone who can log into Find My Mobile on your behalf to track or control your device.A series of vulnerabilities affecting Samsung’s Find My Mobile could have been chained to perform various types of activities on a compromised smartphone, a researcher from Portugal-based cybersecurity services provider Char49 revealed at the DEF CON conference on Friday.įind My Mobile is designed to help users find lost Samsung phones. The Extend battery option will provide the option to help you track it longer. For example, retrieve calls and messages will sync with the phone and show you the last 50 calls and messages, complete with phone numbers. There are a couple that are worth explaining a bit more. A popup will also provide a series of actions to take on the lost device: If it's powered on, you will see its current location and battery percentage. Once there, log into your account and select the device you're looking for. Instead, you can use any mobile or desktop browser to visit. Samsung doesn't have an app you can use on another phone to track a lost device. Send last location will monitor the device's battery and send its last known location right before it loses power. Google location service provides more accurate location information - vital at a time when you're tracking down a lost device. Remote controls will allow you to do things like force a remote backup, retrieve call and message logs, enable battery saving features and so on. I suggest turning on all options associated with the feature as well.
If prompted, sign into your Samsung account to enable the feature. Alternatively, you can go to Settings > Lock Screen and Security > Find My Mobile. If you signed into your Samsung account during initial setup, like I said, odds are Find My Mobile is already turned on.Ĭheck on your device by searching for Find My Mobile in the Settings app.
