There is one thing you should always know if your mobile phone is lost or stolen: you only have a short period of time to get it back. This happens because cell phone tracking systems do not work only if your cell phone battery is full. As soon as the battery dries up, you will not be able to track the cell phone. This means that you will not be able to use the security system that comes with it.
This security feature is called “cleaning”. This is an application that only works with some tracking devices. iLocalis and Find My iPhone are two of the tracking applications that use this system. This security app is great if you lose your cordless phone and you know you will never see it again and it will delete all the data on your phone.
This app works exactly like a self destruct sequence. But you should know that this action cannot be reversed, so if you are not sure where you left your cell phone, better track it before using this security option. Think twice before using it because your phone may get under your pillow and if you use this app you won’t be able to retrieve anything later. Your phone will be like an empty shell.
This security option is really great because it can protect you against a lot of things if you lose your phone, mainly identity theft. As soon as you activate the cleaning function, your cell phone will become as sterile as a medical instrument. Please use this application wisely.
I must tell you again: this security option should only be used if you know that your mobile phone was stolen. Only when you are sure that you will not be able to retrieve it, can you safely use wipe clean on your mobile device.
