Lookout Signal Flare!

The mobile security app maker Lookout has come up with something very unique and one of a kind, at least to date! What do humans do when they are lost? They tend to signal others to have their location traced. On similar grounds, Lookout has released a technology in which a phone sends a signal about its location. What is new in that? It does it at the moment it’s about to go dead; battery over!

The company’s analysis has shown that most of the phones that get lost cannot be recovered because after some period of time they lose their battery. Taking this into consideration, Lookout has added a feature to its security app. With this feature, the lost phone will send a signal to the telecom service provider as soon as it is about to lose its power. Simultaneously, it will send a mail to the owner about its last location as well. It is kind of like last words from the phone, similar to an S.O.S. facility.

The feature is highly appreciable and is now available on both the Android and iOS versions of the Lookout application. Only ‘lost’ phones can be traced with this feature, as it’s obvious that stolen phones will be on the move and might never discharge! This is probably the best feature of Lookout since its inception.
