You must switch on your phone's security features to protect your phone

Use the keypad lock so that thieves cannot immediately access your phone, or use the biometric authentication if your phone has it (finger print or facial recognition)

Your phone may have other security features you can use – these could allow you to wipe data, lock your handset, or prevent a thief from restoring a phone to its factory settings from another internet device

Consider installing an anti-theft app. These can be an effective way of helping police trace your phone and identify the thief
