Losing or having your phone stolen has become a very common issue, especially with phone theft up in some areas of the world. Before you potentially lose or have your phone stolen, make sure your phone is as secure as possible, and have a password/biometric scan programmed to unlock the phone. Consider having two-factor authentication for apps related to messaging and finance, and have “Find My Device” or “SmartThings Find” enabled. Also, have your phone’s serial/IMEI number recorded somewhere for additional tracking. If your phone is stolen, notify the police, contact the provider of your phone’s insurance, and reach out to your service provider so they can freeze your phone number. Source: Associated Press
