What does "Redmi" mean on your Xiaomi mobile and what is its difference

 

If an iPhone is the only support device to locate your Android mobile that you have lost or stolen, don't worry, it is possible to do it and without the need to download external applications.

No matter how responsible you are taking care of your phone with Android operating system , there is always the risk that you lose it or in the worst case, that you are the victim of theft. Currently, most smartphones (even the most basic) have tools that allow you to track it and even block it from a distance, however, you will need the support of another device to do it and many times the one you have at hand is not a Android device, but an iPhone, the same one that will help you locate your mobile.

As you remember, Android is an operating system developed by Google, and all devices that have the aforementioned software can be tracked from the "Google Account", the same one that you had to register on the smartphone that you lost or was stolen . Before locating the equipment we will offer you two recommendations: first, do not go alone, if possible look for it together with a police authority; second, the iPhone must have updated "Safari" or the browser you use, so there will be no problems.

SO YOU CAN LOCATE YOUR ANDROID MOBILE FROM AN IPHONE

• First, from your iPhone access Safari or the search engine of your choice and place the following in the search bar https://www.google.com/android/find , you can click here to go directly.
• Sign in with your Google account
• A map will appear where you can see the location of the phone, you just have to see a green point with a drawing of a smartphone.
• At the bottom of the screen you will see a panel with your equipment data: brand, model, battery level and name of the Wi-Fi network to which it is connected.
• Below this information there are three buttons: the first one gives you the option to play a sound for five minutes that cannot be turned off in any way; the second locks the device and allows you to display a security message and a button to call a contact; and the last one deletes all the data on the smartphone.

How to prevent criminals from turning off the cell phone they just stole from me

• Enter the "Settings" of Android , you locate it with the icon of a cogwheel or gear.
• Next, find and tap the “Lock Screen” section.
• A new window will open. Here tap on “Secure Lock Setting”.
• You will be prompted to enter your security PIN, password, or pattern to continue.
• Finally, activate the options “Lock with side key” and “Lock network and security”.

Done, that would be it. Try to turn off your cell phone, disable GPS, mobile data, WiFi, etc., and you will not be able to, since Android will first ask you to enter the unlock method you have chosen.
