Aplicaciones para encontrar y controlar un Android robado o perdido Analizaremos algunas aplicaciones que pueden servirnos de ayuda en caso de perder nuestro terminal Android o de que nos lo roben. Estas aplicaciones son útiles siempre y cuando el usuario no restaure el dispositivo, ya que de lo contrario, desaparecería la instalación de estos programas y, consigo, la funcionalidad del rastreo remoto. También podemos usarlas para devolver un Android robado o perdido que nos hayamos encontrado. No recomendamos el uso simultáneo de más de una aplicación, para evitar posibles interferencias entre los diferentes servicios y ahorrar batería. Lo mejor es que el usuario pruebe cada una de ellas, compare, elija la que más le guste o satisfaga sus necesidades, y se deshaga de las demás.
