01 Jul 2025

Description

We do a deep dive on recovering lost smartphones and their data using cloud services, primarily focusing on Apple's iCloud and Samsung's SmartThings Find (formerly Find My Mobile) and Samsung Cloud. We explain step-by-step instructions for locating a missing device, remotely securing it with features like locking and playing a sound, and erasing data if necessary. Furthermore, we detail how users can retrieve important information such as contacts, messages, and photos from iCloud or Samsung Cloud backups, emphasizing the importance of these services for data preservation even if the physical device is unrecoverable. And in typical fashion we include real-life success stories to illustrate the effectiveness of these cloud-based recovery tools.
