Make Sure to Enable These Settings After Buying a Smartphone — Otherwise You May Face Serious Trouble in the Future

 Assalamu Alaikum,

I hope everyone is doing well by the mercy of Allah.

Every smartphone company designs its devices with built-in security features so that users can safely use their phones for a long time and protect them from theft. However, many users buy a new or even a used smartphone without properly enabling some very important security settings.

There are a few essential settings that, once activated, will not only protect your phone but may also prevent thieves from misusing it. In fact, if these features are turned on, a thief may hesitate to take your phone — and even if it gets stolen, you can easily track or recover it.

Let’s take a look at those important settings.

1️⃣ Turn On “Find My Device”

Find My Device

First, go to your phone’s Settings and search for Find My Device, then turn it on.

This feature allows you to:

Track your phone’s live location

Lock your phone remotely

Erase data if necessary

If your phone is lost or stolen, you can control it from another device using your Google account.

2️⃣ Sign In With Your Official Mobile Company ID (Apple ID / Google Account)

If you use an iPhone, sign in with your Apple ID.

If you use an Android phone, sign in with your Google Account.

Make sure to:

Log in using a valid email

Set a strong password

Remember your password

Add a recovery phone number

Enable Two-Step Verification

Turn on fingerprint authentication for account verification

When these options are enabled:

No one can reset or flash your phone without your account

The device cannot be unlocked from a computer without proper verification

Unauthorized reset attempts may permanently lock the device

This adds a powerful layer of protection.

3️⃣ Enable Power-Off Verification (Anti-Theft Protection)

Go to Settings → Password & Security and look for an option such as Power Off Verification or Anti-Theft protection (availability may vary by brand).

When this is enabled:

No one can turn off your phone while it is locked

This prevents thieves from disabling tracking immediately

What To Do If Your Phone Is Stolen?

If your phone is taken even after enabling these settings:

Find the IMEI number from your phone box.

Report the IMEI to your nearest police station.

With the IMEI number, authorities can track the device location and help recover it quickly.

Final Recommendation

After purchasing a smartphone, I strongly recommend enabling these three important settings immediately. They can save you from serious problems in the future.
