Lookout: the innovative app for iOS and Android

Smartphone thieves around the world, if you already have your next victim in the crosshairs, make sure they don't have their smartphone on their smartphone Lookout!

What is Lookout?

Nothing to worry about! Simply aApp who, if he could, would say: "Thief, smile!"

You got it right! It is the innovative Mobile security app designed by Lookout for iOS and Android that will protect your smartphone from possible thieves by taking a picture of it when it tries to use your smartphone after having stolen it.

How Lookout Works?

While the thief thinks he is acting undisturbed, away from prying eyes, theApp activates the front camera of the smartphone to take a photo without the knowledge of whoever committed the theft and send it to the owner of the mobile phone complete with indication of the time and place where the shot was taken.

The features that made theLookout app are: on the one hand, i selfie to the smartphone thief, which the creators of Lookout they renamed "theftie"From the English" theft "which means" theft "; on the other the geolocation which within a few seconds allows you to find out where the lost device is.

The creators of Lookout have conducted some research on the most common actions that a thief takes when stealing a mobile phone and, based on these, have set the activation of the security mechanism, which should, in fact, be activated when:

- a mobile phone unlock code is entered three times in a row;

- the SIM card is removed from the device;

- you try to activate the airplane mode;

- the mobile device is turned off;

- the app in question is removed.

If this App has aroused some interest or curiosity in you, all you have to do is install it on your device and try to find your mobile phone.
