Find My Mobile works on many popular Samsung devices, including the Galaxy line of phones and tablets. It maps the location of a missing phone, locks it on command and can activate the ringer to go off at maximum volume for a full minute to alert anyone within hearing distance. It also allows users to remotely unlock their phones, and to wipe all internal and external memory.
