How many people think that if your phone was stolen by anyone and been switched off so how did we find it? We don’t find the accurate location of the mobile which is turned off because when the mobile is once switched off the location it doesn’t give location but we will find the last location where the phone is switched off or your phone is switched on for some time it will also help you in finding location. 

But if your phone is stolen you will complain to police, because police start tracking the IMEI number and if your phone is turned on your phone will be pinged with the exact location and if the phone is found on any crime spot so you were not blamed.

How to protect cell phones from tracking ?

The first question comes to our mind is how we know if someone is tracking our phone or not. Some simple ways to find your is tapped by someone :

  1. If your phone is not so old but after that it becomes hot after using it for a small time like 20 to 30 minutes. Because when your phone is tapped your data usage will increase automatically and become hot quickly.
  2. In your data reminder you will see a lot of data usage but you are using not so much. Sometimes we use free Wi-fi or someone’s hotspot and allow everything to access through it so it is one of the main symptoms of tracking.
  3. On your phone sometimes an unwanted application was downloaded so don’t allow all the permissions and read it. If we did not want the application so uninstall it. 
  4. If your phone restart automatically many times so it is also a symptom of tracking
  5. If you or an unknown person is sending messages in some pattern so it is the biggest symptom of tracking or someone is pinging your phone. We did not mind these messages but you have to check the messages that your phone is sending or seeing messages without your permission.
