fuggstop Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 usually when someone takes your phone or steals your phone, the phone thief turns the phone off immediately so that you can't track your phone well just now when i tried to turn off my phone, it asked for my password or fingerprint!! this makes me happy because if my phone ever goes missing, i can still track it!! HA HA TAKE THAT WOULD BE THEIVES!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant take the battery out of most phones these days. But... theft is a numbers game. They dont give a shit. If they cant turn it off they throw it in the toilet and move on.

Well, the point is, it would still be without its phone and we might enjoy a couple hours/days without its racism/trifling/indolence/stupidity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my iPhone 5 work phone does, too. Wait I totally misread this as needing the password when you reboot. Never mind me I'm dumb.
