Enable a strong screen lock
Use a strong PIN or password and biometric security. Avoid easily guessed codes.
Enable the official Find My service
Turn on Apple Find My or Google Find My Device, location services and offline-finding features supported by the device.
Protect the main email account
Use multi-factor authentication and secure recovery methods because email often controls password resets for other services.
Save device records
Record the IMEI, serial number, model, color, purchase date, invoice and clear photographs in a secure place.
Register the device
Create an ownership record before an incident occurs, then keep purchase evidence current.
Use IMEI Alert responsibly
IMEI Alert provides registry and case information that is available through its own reviewed workflow. It does not promise live tracking, universal operator data or guaranteed recovery.
