The Best Applications for Tracking a Mobile Phone

You’ve probably been through some situation where you thought about activating the tracking of the device, right? Whether it is for loss, theft, or even to find the location of your child, tracking a cell phone is always the first thing that comes to your mind when an eventuality happens.

The saying goes: you can’t be too careful when it comes to insurance. Prevention is still the best way to keep your device safe. There are ways to track mobile devices that you can (and should) set up on your device. Currently Google and Apple provide tools to track cell phones, but you can also find a plethora of free applications available for this purpose.

A common mistake is to think that it is possible to locate the device through the IMEI. Unfortunately, many people find out that it is not possible when it is already too late. The IMEI is that identification number that comes on the invoice of the smartphone or tablet that you can use to remotely lock the device. What happens is that the device is only blocked, not tracked.

Therefore, never forget to configure your cell phone to prevent possible theft or loss.

Glympse: Share your location

This is one of the best location tracking services available on the web. Glympse is available for Android and iOS.

It instantly locates your device and lets you know the device’s location history.

To access location tracking activity, you will use Glympse’s online dashboard.

You can create a group with your family members so that everyone can share their location in real time. And you can do the same with your friends.

It is quite simple, because the people with whom you share your location do not need to download the application. They can track your phone from their browser.

Glympse is compatible with Windows, iOS, and Android devices.

Find My Kids: locate the kids

Technology is a great tool, when it comes to protecting children.

This app is designed to know a child’s location in real time.

How does it work?

To use it, you need to download the software on your cell phone and install the Pingo application on your child’s phone.

This activates the GPS location on your child’s device, in rescue mode, so you know where they are.

If your child does not answer your call or wants to know who they are with, you activate the microphone and can hear what is going on around them. It is quite useful to know that your child is okay is to hear the sounds around them.

Without a doubt, this is one of the most used parental control apps, as it allows parents to check the history of apps or games used by their children.

It is of great importance to use these tools as a security system to protect your family, know where they are and have a backup of their location in case of any incident.
