Top Samsung Tip to Secure and Track Your Phone
Yes, this top Samsung tip will make you secure and track your phone Before It’s Too Late!
Losing a smartphone—especially a premium Samsung Galaxy—can feel like losing your digital lifeline. But what most users don’t realize is your Samsung already has built-in security tools that can help you protect, track, and possibly recover your phone if it’s ever stolen.
Let’s start with a must-do setting that’s criminally underrated:
Lock Network & Security
This feature is a hidden gem that can buy you time to track your stolen phone.
How to enable it:
- Open Settings
- Tap Lock Screen
- Go to Secure Lock Settings
- Toggle ON “Lock network and security”
What does it do? It prevents anyone from turning off your mobile data, Wi-Fi, or even accessing airplane mode without unlocking the phone. Even more important, it stops them from powering off the device directly from the lock screen.
Why this matters: A thief can’t simply shut down your phone or cut off the internet. That means you have a window of time to track its location using either Samsung’s Find My Mobile or Google’s Find My Device.
Enable “Find My Mobile.”
To do this:
- Head to Settings > Security and privacy > Find My Mobile
- Sign in and enable all features, including remote unlock and sending the last location.
BUT—Here’s the Catch:
Savvy thieves know how to remove your SIM card. Once it’s out, your phone loses cellular data access and becomes harder to track, no matter what settings you turned on.
That’s where eSIM comes in.
Use eSIM for Extra Protection
If your Samsung supports eSIM, activate it and remove the physical SIM altogether. Since eSIM is embedded in the phone, it can’t be pulled out, making it way harder for a thief to disconnect your device from the network.
Sure, they could still find a way eventually. But removing an eSIM isn’t as straightforward, especially if you’ve secured the phone with a strong PIN and biometric locks.
Lensesview Tip:
Don’t just read this—go do it now. In Zambia, phone theft is unfortunately common, but prevention is still in your hands. Activate these features before your luck runs out.
