The security of our phones is very important, because we have more and more personal and private information on them, therefore, having our iPhone taken without permission is something that bothers us, a lot. That is why there are apps like the ones we are going to see today, which help us find the culprit.
In this case we will talk about Who Touched My Phonean application that will take a photo of the people who pick up our phone and use it, as well as a possible alarm to tell us that they are doing it, ideal so that they have no way to excuse themselves that it wasn't them.
Find out who uses your iPhone
The application is very interesting, although for it to work correctly we will have to carry out a somewhat “unsafe” process, since it will only take photographs of the people who are capable of unlocking it, so if you enter an incorrect unlock code, we will not have a screenshot of it.
However, this is not a problem, because if we want detect if someone takes our iPhone or notThanks to the alarm, we can be alert, since we can configure it to ring after 3 seconds, or as long as we want, without giving the other person the opportunity to check anything.
This function is available in other apps such as AntiTheftHowever, with this we can take a photo, leaving evidence of it. In addition, we will have a record with all those moments, as well as the time and day.
Has a free trial 3 days, although if we want the full version once that time has passed, we will have to get a premium plan, however, to try it, what they offer us at no cost is more than enough.
There are quite a few applications like this, so if you suspect that someone knows your password, or you simply want to test a family member, friend or partner and leave your iPhone without a password, this is a very simple way to do it, and as we said, thanks to the alarm, you will be able to know that they have taken it, without having to worry if they are looking at something or not.
And you, did you know this type of apps? Back in the day I had one for Android, which even took photos when someone touched your phone, without even entering a password or trying to unlock it, but due to Apple's security, that is not possible, and to use the camera automatically, the iPhone must be unlocked, otherwise we could make hidden recordings, for example.
There are very interesting alternatives if you like this type of apps, especially on Android:
Lockwatch (for Android and iOS):
- It works similarly to “Who Touched My Phone.” Send an email with a photo of the person trying to unlock your device.
Lookout Mobile Security:
- It includes a feature called “Theft Alerts” that will send you a photo and the location of your device if someone tries to unlock it.
Third Eye (for Android and iOS):
- Take a photo when someone tries to unlock your device incorrectly. It is not as well known, but it offers similar functionality.
