More About Prey: Find My Phone & Security

Prey is a tracking, data security and device management app with over 13 years of experience in locating misplaced phones, laptops, and tablets. Available for Android, Chromebooks, iOS, Windows, Ubuntu and MacOS. All devices are monitored under a single account and manageable from the mobile app or the online panel.

Prey is an application that helps you keep track of your devices, such as phones and laptops, in case they are lost or stolen. In order to ensure the security of your device, the app requests that you enable a permission that prevents it from being uninstalled without your authorization. This extra security measure can be deactivated from the login screen if you wish to uninstall the app.

It is recommended that you disable the "Delete permissions if not used" option to ensure continuous protection. The app also requests Accessibility services when using the "Lock" feature, which is used to block the device and display an "Access Denied" screen overlay. However, this feature is only available on Android versions lower than 9, as newer versions have added restrictions that block this functionality.

In order to access all of the features of the app, it may require certain permissions to be granted manually. For example, on Android 12 or later, the app requires access to the Management of All Files permission in order to use the "File Retrieval" feature. The app also uses the Device Administrator permission for the Remote Wipe and Lock feature.

The app also has features that allow for geotracking, geofencing, and location history, even when the app is not in use. While most Android devices will automatically request all necessary permissions, some may require additional ones to be granted manually. Instructions for specific devices can be found on help.preyproject.com.

There are different plans available for Prey, including a free plan that offers basic features such as device tracking and monitoring, device security measures like screen lock and remote alarm, and a 24-hour device activity log. For more advanced features, such as control zones, custom wipe, and automations, there are paid plans available.

Prey is committed to protecting your privacy and mobile security, which is why they use open source code and only retrieve or use personal information and data when requested. The app was founded in 2009 with the goal of helping people keep track of their devices, and has since evolved into a trusted tool for both individuals and businesses. If you need help with the app, you can contact their support team at help@preyproject.com. Their terms and conditions can be found at preyproject.com/terms.
