Why Anti-Theft Protection Is Necessary For Your Smartphone

The days are gone when phone was just used for voice communication, the time, technology and generation has changed and today most of the peoples are having smartphones in their hands containing smart features like high-resolution digital cameras, internet browsing, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, pictures, videos, social sharing like Facebook, twitter, YouTube and much more.

And this revolution in smartphone industry hasn't came alone, it has brought the threats on your privacy and your important data with it. Your phone not only provides you access to those smart features but also has lots of important data like your phone book contacts, emails, email contacts, messages and also has private information including your personal and family photos.

So now the question is what will you feel when you loss your smartphone or it gets stolen?

Will you really worry about the money you paid for that smart device or will you start worrying about the information lost with that device? Of course the privacy and data security is much more concerned than value of device itself.

In fact, most smartphone users already understand this but not much concerned about it. May be because they are too confident that they will never loss or miss place their phone, anyways what I believe is a single silly mistake can result in loss of valuable private data.

In this smart world, our life has become very fast and we are all working day and nights (mentally if not physically) to live a better life, to make our dreams come true and hence we have become multi tasking machines. Multi tasking means less concentration on each task and that is the only reason people often forgets their smartphones in restaurants, cinemas, offices and billing counters.

Don't worry, the threat is big but the solution is right there in your phone. Of course there is no 100% protection available against smart phone thefts but there are ways you can save your private data from going into the wrong hands. There are many anti-theft software available in smartphone markets (Google play market for android smartphones). You can configure them to erase all your private data including phone-book, SMS and all media files like images and videos stored on external memory card when SIM card is changed or phone is marked as stolen via remote SMS command.
