Hello @jpk0100, 

Welcome!

Yes. 

• It’s also good to test some of the Anti-theft features, so you know how they work, hopefully, you’ll never be in a situation where they’re needed, i.e. if the phone really was stolen; if you test the features now, should an theft emergency arise you’ll be confident with the process, rather than learning them in a stressful situation; however, we recommend testing the options: Take a mugshot & Alarm, rather than options like Perform a factory reset on the device, including wiping the memory card.

1. Also, we recommend you setup automatic backups of all critical data on the phone, again, should a disaster arise, it’s important to be able to restore a phone as quickly as possible, automated backups assist with this. 

Thank you🙏

Hi, thank you, very clearly put. I will follow your advice and test mugshot and alarm, as soon as I have properly backed up my phone. Thanks again, very helpful ??
