More than once I have been asked how users can recover lost iPhones or those that have been stolen, and each time I have asked users if they have activated the function Find My iPhone. This is the main function that allows you to discover a recent Apple iDevice the company improved the system through which users can find an iDevice. If the Find My iPhone system is not attractive enough for you, then you may be interested in using the tweak iLostFinder which works in a similar way, except that it is not based on the functionality of your GPS.
iLostFinder is an essential app for you as an anti-theft lost finder. With iLostFinder installed on the iPhone/iPad, you can win a chance to get it back when it is lost or stolen. When the thief tries to unlock your iPhone with a wrong Passcode, iLostFinder will take a photo of his face and send the photo to your Email. You can then hand over the photos to the Police to catch the thief. iLostFinder can also display a message telling the one who got your device to return it to you.
- After installation, navigate to Settings – iLostFinder and configure it.
- Go to Settings-General-Passcode Lock and set a Passcode.
- For help, please go to ilostfinder.com.
iLostFinder was made with the idea of giving users the opportunity to find out exactly who stole/found their iDevice, so the tweak automatically takes a picture of whoever has your terminal and automatically sends it to you by email. Of course, the terminal must have a front camera and be connected to the Internet to work, and in general the tweak must be used with Find My iPhone to get the best results. iLostFinder is available for free in Cydia.
