Summary
A Reddit user has shared a smart routine for Samsung phones that can help trace a device if it is lost or stolen, even if it is offline.
This can be set up using the phone’s Routines feature, and entails the phone user receiving a specific keyword via text that will then trigger a series of automated actions.
These include enabling mobile data, WiFi, location services, and power-saving mode, and mean the phone can be tracked using either the SmartThings or Google Find My Device apps, both of which require an internet connection to function effectively.
The phone owner can also remotely activate sound mode, turn on auto-sync, and play a sound to help them locate their device.
The routine is simple to set up and gives the phone owner a high chance of recovering a lost or stolen device.
