What Is Device Blocking?

Device blocking is a specific feature offered by Mobile Tracker Free that protects devices from accessing personal data such as credit card information, private photos, videos, passwords, and more in case they are lost or stolen.

For example, in case you, your kid, spouse, or a close relative loses their phone, there is a high risk someone may access the sensitive data stored on it and use it for blackmailing you, your close relatives, or your partner or what is worse, send your private photos to everyone in your contact book.

In that case, blocking the device will be very useful. Similarly, if your kid refuses to follow your set screen time limits or uses their phone when it's bedtime, blocking their device will give you full control over their phone so that you will be certain they have healthy sleep time.

Benefits of Device Blocking Feature

Just imagine you find yourself in a situation where you are unable to find your phone and start worrying as all your credit cards, private data, and important passwords are on it. What should you do? You have to make a quick decision immediately. The best solution here is to block the device so that no one can access the stored data. By blocking the device, one will be able to unblock it, which means they will be unable to use it, and you will have some extra time to plan how to find your cell phone (by IMEI, calling your cell phone carrier, etc.)

How to block a device that is Android-operated?

There are two ways to block a lost or stolen device. The first method is to go to android.com/find and use the target user's Google account credentials. However, this requires several preconditions, such as turning on an internet connection and location sharing. For a smoother and stress-free tracking experience, use Mobile Tracker Free. Once installed on the target phone, it guarantees 100% safety and security of their data and allows you to block the Android device in an emergency.

Can I lock my child's Android remotely?

You can install the Mobile Tracker Free app on their cell phone. This app will provide all the data on your kid's online activities, calls, text messages, and more. Additionally, it allows you to lock their device remotely. Once this feature is enabled, your kid cannot use their device until you unlock it through your dashboard.

How to lock your child's phone remotely with a device blocker from Mobile Tracker Free?

If you have installed the Mobile Tracker Free app on your kid's device, you can lock their smartphone remotely by accessing your dashboard and clicking the device blocking button. You won't need to enter personal data, and the target device won't receive any notification about being blocked. Once you click the block button, the device will be blocked immediately.

How to lock a phone for kids with Mobile Tracker Free if you do not know the unlock password?

You need to know the password to unlock their phone to be able to lock their Android phone with the app. This is because the app requires physical access to their device to install. However, you can ask them to unblock it, allowing you to gain temporary access to install the necessary software. Once the app is installed, you can remotely manage and lock their phone through the Mobile Tracker Free interface.

Is it possible to block a cell phone if it is turned off?

Unfortunately, blocking the phone when it is turned off is impossible because it loses its connection to the mobile network. In this situation, you can only check its most recent location from when it was last turned on. As soon as the phone is turned on again, you can instantly block it and restrict unauthorized access.
