Parents teach their children to memorize their phone number(s) from
an early age so that they can call them if they’re ever lost or have an
emergency, and that’s definitely a wise thing to do. Now, smartphones
can do the same thing – if they’re running the newest version of Android
at least. In a new update
to the Android Device Manager, there’s a new setting that allows you to
add a message and a phone number to your lock screen in the event your
phone gets misplaced.
Say you’ve lost your phone and an honest person happens upon it.
Since they want to do the right thing, they try to unlock it to see who
it belongs to so they can get it back to its owner. They’ll have two
options: enter a correct passcode to unlock the phone, or call the
rightful owner. Sounds like a good idea to me.
Help Your Lost Phone Find Its Way Home!
If you’ve ever lost your phone somewhere, then you know how
frustrating of an experience it can be. There are, of course, options
out there to find your phone remotely, but that doesn’t always enable
you to get it back. This new update sounds like a good step forward, but
obviously it only works if someone who finds your phone wants to help
get it back to you.
