Maybe you’re someone who is always forgetting their phone or leaving it somewhere- this again is an ideal solution for locating it. However, if for any reason it goes missing you can find it again very quickly. Hopefully you look after your phone and always keep it safe. Ideally, you will never have the need to use it. If you value your device, this is a must-have application. If that had been an Android (Cerberus isn’t available on iOS), and Cerberus had been installed, I’m pretty certain it could have easily led to getting the device back. It might ultimately lead you to finding your phone, identifying the person who has taken it- as well as tracking the device’s location.Ī family member of mine lost his brand new iPhone 8 Plus when he left it in the back of a taxi while on holiday. If you lose your phone, or it is stolen, you stand a far better chance of retrieving the device if you have Cerberus installed. The video below provides a cool demo of the app. The app is fantastically easy to use via the web, but if you can access another Android phone with the Cerberus Client app installed, you can perform these actions from another device. If your phone is rooted, you can also reboot it. You can also get location history, send messages, start the alarm (cool if you’ve just forgotten where you left it), get call log, get SMS log, send SMS message, grab screenshot, start and stop emergency mode, hide or show Cerberus app in the app drawer, call the phone, wipe the devices memory or wipe your SD card. These features are just the tip of the iceberg too, the providing a raft of extra features. And all this while tracking the device via GPS.

Additionally, you can record both audio or video- again providing more evidence as to who has taken your phone. OK, so right away you have a photo (the picture is emailed to you) of the person who has your device. You can take pictures of the perpetrator, as s/he tries to meddle with your phone, for example, it can be triggered when they try to unlock your device. If you’ve got a front-facing camera, things get even cooler. You can instantly lock the device, requiring a 4 digit pin to unlock. OK, so first things first- protect your content. If, however, you think it might have been stolen, there’s a whole lot more you can do. If your device is lost- all you need to do is go to the Cerberus website, log in, remotely activate the GPS and it’ll show you on a map where you left it.

The app will send pictures, audio and video to your email address. The browser UI is quite simple too, but very functional and full of useful information. The in-app interface is relatively simple- just basic menus- slick but there’s not much to it. Actions are performed by a neat drop-down menu alongside a map with the device’s geolocation. If you lose it, or it’s stolen you just have to get to a browser (or use the Cerberus client on another Android), and take control of the phone. Sign in and create an account on your phone, then forget about it. In this scenario, Cerberus essentially puts the ball back in your court.
