Prey - Track lost devices remotely

Prey is an app specializing in tracking, securing data, and managing devices with a rich history of over 13 years in locating lost or stolen phones, laptops, and tablets. It can be accessed on Android, Chromebooks, iOS, Windows, Ubuntu, and MacOS, allowing users to monitor and control all devices under one account via the mobile app or online panel.

Prey Anti Theft is a tool that lets you protect your Android device in case of loss or theft. You can install the app on up to three different devices, so if you lose one of them you can use either of the other two to help you locate the missing one.

The most important feature in Prey Anti Theft lets you retrieve the exact location of the lost or stolen device. And not just that – you can also get screenshots or pictures taken by the device. Other features let you make it play a noise, even when the device is in silent mode; or display a custom alert on the screen.

If all this fails and you still can't access your device, Prey Anti Theft lets you directly brick your Android. It's one of those last-ditch options that it's better to never have to use ... but it's good to know you have the option.

Prey Anti Theft is an excellent security app that just might help you find your Android more easily if you lose it.

Important Notes:

- To prevent unauthorized uninstallation, users must grant a permission to safeguard the app from being removed without consent. The uninstallation process involves deactivating this permission from the login screen.

Crucial Information:

▸ To maintain continuous protection, it is recommended to disable the "Delete permissions if not used" setting.

▸ When using the "Lock" feature, the app may require Accessibility services to block the device, displaying an "Access Denied" overlay.

▸ The Power Button Lock function is supported on Android versions under 9; Android 9 and higher have restrictions blocking this feature.

▸ For Android 12 and later, access to Management of All Files is necessary for functions like "File Retrieval" *Pro*, extending beyond images and videos.

▸ Device Administrator permission is utilized for functionalities such as Remote Wipe and Lock in the *Pro* version.

▸ Background location access is employed for geotracking, and *Pro* features like geofencing and location history, even when the app is inactive. While most Android devices auto-request essential permissions, some may need manual granting, especially Huawei & Xiaomi models. Visit help.preyproject.com for specific instructions.
