Not only adults, but the kids are also glued to their smartphones and tabs. The thought of losing our phone is scary for all of us, but unfortunately, the rate of smartphone theft in the Philippines and even around the world has increased dramatically.
Mobile phone theft.
And my friend had the same terrible experience, too. My friend lost her phone and no wonder she was down to tears for losing all her private data and picture. It was her luck; she had a reliable phone locator app installed on her phone. She didn’t dare think what could have happened otherwise!
Phone theft is becoming a crisis!

When my friend lost her phone she had too many pictures, contacts, and important documents saved in it. It was a completely panic situation for her. But then, she pat herself for the wise decision she took only a couple of months ago. She used the mobile tracking feature and located it very quickly.
How she tracked her lost phone?
When she installed FamilyTime app she never thought that it could ever help her in tracking lost phone. She had been using it to tack her location and for getting the PickMeUp alerts from her daughter. She lost her iPhone in the supermarket and her husband reminded her about the FamilyTime.
She used its location tracking feature and got the exact location of the phone through virtual map. The best part is that it takes only a minute to locate the phone. There are some other very helpful tracking specs which can make life easier:
