Traveling is nice, but you also have to be careful. especially if you visit new places or if you are traveling alone. A smartphone can be protected with anti-theft alarms not only to trace it after losing it, but also so that no one can move, open or steal it in silence.
Applications that work a bit like powerful sound alarms are fantastic protections from a mobile device, which can also come in handy as life-savers, even to ward off attackers or to save us in bad situations.
Here we see some useful applications both to protect the phone against thieves, and to protect themselves by using the Android smartphone, be it a Samsung, a LG, a Nexus or a Huawei.
1) Anti-theft is an app designed to protect your phone from thieves, which sounds an alarm if someone tries to use the phone by trying random passwords. The application also allows you to set an alarm if the phone is shaken. In this way, theoretically, it is possible to make sure that the mobile phone emits an audible alarm if someone grabs the bag that contains it, to try to draw attention to the pickpocket. You can also configure an alarm with a particularly high pitched tone, make the phone vibrate or light the screen with lights.
2) Anti-Theft-Alarm is an anti-theft app which, when activated, is capable of emitting the sound of a loud siren when the phone is moved. The alarm will go off even if someone disconnects the charger from the phone or tablet, the alarm will also go off. This is the ideal application to protect your mobile phone when you are in public places or if you keep your smartphone in charge away from your eyes.
3) With apps like Emergency Light, you change genres and switch to alarms to scare off attackers with lights and sirens . Since you usually always keep your cell phone in your pocket, the app allows you to quickly press a button and turn on the alarm which is the same as the police siren.
4) Emergency alarm is another free app to make your phone a police siren in case you are alone in dangerous situations.
5) The BeSafe app is the most complete semi-free application for Android, although not very practical. There is an SOS alarm that also signals the GPS position, allows you to receive a fake call and send an SMS message to a specified number.
6) Panic Button Red shows a nice big red button that works as a panic button. However, it is not an audible alarm, but a way to send an SMS or an automatic emergency Email.
7) Google Trusted Contacts is even better because it is completely free and allows you to configure 6 friends or family members who can be contacted simultaneously in case of need. They will be sent an SMS with the coordinates of the geographical position where they are located.
8) Eyewatch is an easy-to-use app for our personal safety, which allows you to activate instant emergency alerts to trusted contacts, also warning them where we are. This app is really powerful because it takes photos to share with contacts, tracks the position via GPS or network, acts as a silent alarm and sends emergency calls even if it does not take the signal. It is very nice to see it in action so it is worth trying it, because with a single touch, the application automatically sends e-mails to each of the set contacts to let them know that we are in trouble.
9) Emergency numbers is the ideal app on the go, to have all the emergency numbers of each country, always ready in the memory of your mobile phone.
10) Where Are U, free for Android smartphones, allows you to call 112 quickly, even with a silent call, in order to have an intervention by the Carabinieri, Police, Fire Brigade or Ambulance, also sending the position automatically.
11) Carelife - Personal security app is a free app that allows you to activate SOS emergency alarms to be sent to phone numbers, to detect your location and receive verified disaster warnings.
