Finding Lost Smart Phones Now Easy, But . . .





Find My Phone
Google has unveiled a new feature that allows users to track down their lost phones whenever they have an internet connection. Simply typing “find my phone” into the search engine will bring up the feature, which shows the handset’s location on a map as well as allowing users to ring it so that it can be found. The update relies on having the latest version of the Google app on the phone, but can be used from any browser.

But then there is this:

Apple wants to track iPhones – even when they’re turned off
The plan, for which Apple was awarded a patent at the end of January, would allow phones to go into a kind of zombie mode – apparently shut off, but actually tracking the phone’s movements. But while the feature might sound like a way of Apple and other governments tracking your location, it will likely make the phones more secure. Apple’s Find My iPhone service allows users to track phones if they’re lost or stolen, allowing them to be traced and found. But at the moment, thieves can simply turn the phones off, stopping the tracking feature.
