In this case, you should follow the tricks shared in this post to <strong>secure Android phone from theft<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Have you ever imagined what if you end up losing your phone or someone stole it? Just assume that you forget your phone at the store, taxi, restaurant, and it went to the wrong hands. You will not only lose the phone but your personal data too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Obviously, you are going to be concerned about your stolen phone and stored data as the damage or loss may extend from the device loss. A thief may harm your personal data, such as banking details, documents, photos\/videos, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But if you have already taken the important precautionary steps <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">beforehand <\/span>to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androiddata-recovery.com\/blog\/how-to-secure-android-phone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>secure your Android phone<\/strong><\/a> from theft or hackers, then your device would be nothing but a brick to the thief as there will be no way to extract personal information.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So you see, how much is it important to keep your smartphone secure from such threats. If you haven&#8217;t taken any such precautions to<strong> keep your phone secure from theft,<\/strong> then you must read this article.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here, in this article, I will show how you can <strong>secure Android phone from theft<\/strong> to avoid strangers from accessing your personal information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How to Secure Android Phone from Theft?<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><a href=\"#1\"><strong>Use Phone Lock<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#2\"><strong>Lock Apps &amp; Media on Your Android Phone<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#3\"><strong>Enable Find My Device Feature<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#4\"><strong>Secure Android Phone from Theft Using IMEI Number<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#5\"><strong>Set a SIM Card PIN<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#6\"><strong>Enable On-Device Encryption<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#7\"><strong>Use 3rd Party Anti-Theft Apps<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">1: Use Phone Lock<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Whenever it comes to securing your phone, the most basic and first thing that comes to mind is setting the screen lock which is a must to do. Doing this will lock your phone and prevent others from accessing the device.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you haven&#8217;t locked your phone yet, then you should do it right now. I know it is a basic method of keeping your phone protected from thefts and other threats but the phones without the screen lock are highly likely to get harmed.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine, your phone got snatched or you lost the phone somewhere that has your personal sensitive data, such as card details, important files, etc. if your phone is locked, then it is going to take time to unlock the device. Meanwhile, you can block your cards and take other required actions.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you now understand how important it is to protect the Android phone with the screen lock. There are different<span style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> types of phone locks, you have multiple options: setting, <strong>PIN, pattern, and password<\/strong>. So, choose any of the options to\u00a0<\/span><strong style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">secure your Android phone<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2: Lock Apps &amp; Media on Android Phone<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You can also lock particular apps or media files to give an extra layer of protection. If you want to hide media files or apps from another person, use apps like\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">App Lock\/File Hide<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0from the<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Play Store<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After locking your files using\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">App Lock<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, you need to provide PIN Lock whenever trying to open the locked files or apps.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3: Enable Find My Device Feature<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">No one can assure you that you will never lose your phone. There could be an instance where you may lose your phone, and in that case,\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Find My Device<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0can help you to overcome the situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Like Google Play Protect,\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Find My Device<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0is also Google\u2019s built-in protection for Android devices. With the Find My Device, users can trace, lock &amp; erase the device when it\u2019s misplaced or stolen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This tool also provides a backup plan that will keep the device and data secure from these unexpected situations. To enable the Find My Device, go through these steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Open the phone\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Settings<\/span><\/strong><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tap on the\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Google<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Go to the\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Security<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Next, tap on the\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Find My Device\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&gt;<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">turn it\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">4: Secure Android Phone from Theft Using IMEI Number<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">IMEI (International Mobile Station Equipment Identity)<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0or\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">MEID (Mobile Equipment Identifier)<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0is one of the best ways to secure the Android phone from theft. All Android phones come with a serial number called IMEI or MEID.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">These unique numbers are etched into the phone\u2019s circuits, and unlike other stored information, it cannot alter on the phone. Your phone carrier already has the\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">15-digit IMEI number<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0that can be used later to put your phone into the missing list of phones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Even police departments ask for this number when you FIR for the stolen phone. You can find out the IMEI number on your phone box or in the\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">phone\u2019s Settings.<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Besides, you can also see it under the battery or get it by dialing\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">*#06#<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">5: Set the SIM Card PIN<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The next effective way that may help you to<strong> theft-proof your Android phone<\/strong> is setting up the Pin for SIM card. It is one of the best ways to<strong> secure your phone number<\/strong> from being misused by theft or any other unauthorized person.<\/p>\n<p>By setting up the PIN for your SIM card, you need to enter the password every time you restart the phone or when buy the new SIM card. Obviously, you are not going to restart your phone or buy a new SIM card very often, taking this security measure won&#8217;t be a hassle for you.<\/p>\n<p>So, it&#8217;s totally worth setting up the SIM card PIN to <strong>secure your Android phone from theft<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Now, you must be wondering how does it work and how it will keep your phone secure. Assume that you have misplaced or lost your Android phone and somehow it went to the wrong hand. So, if your SIM won&#8217;t be locked, the thief can easily find out your number and use it for malicious purposes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">And they can use your number on websites, and with the SMS from the bank, they can transfer money. So, you see how a simple step can\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">protect an Android SIM card<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0from such threats.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">6: Enable On-Device Encryption to Theft-Proof Android Phone<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Android phones come with several inbuilt security features that are able to keep your device secure from different types of threats and <strong>On-device encryption<\/strong> is one of them.<\/p>\n<p>With an <strong>On-device encryption <\/strong>security feature, you can secure your Android phone from theft, leaks, hacks, and data breaches.
