Top 3 Tricks To Protect Your Device & Data Incase Of Theft

Some features like ‘Find-my-iPhone’ on iOS or the ‘Android Device Manager’ can help you. But if thief have snatched your smartphone, being capable of doing a lot of damage before you realize the cost of losing your device.
Lock down your iPhone's or Android smartphone's security settings before it up and disappears. That way, if the most awful happens, at least you will have the satisfaction of having the knowledge that whoever swiped your device will have little more than a paperweight on their hands.

Block access to Control Center [iOS]

first with iOS 7, i-Phones and i-Pads both have equipped with Control Center, a handy slide-up window that gives you rapid admission to your smartphone Wi-Fi and phone settings, media controls, alarms, notes, and the camera.
Because you can use it from the lock-screen, Control Center makes it easy to put your i-Phoneor i-pad into "DND" mode without entering a password, or switch on "flight mode" before your flight takes off.
unluckily, Control Center as well makes it simple for anyone to access your iPhone or iPad camera, alarm clock or wireless settings—allowing, say, a robber to set your stolen device into flight mode, making the Find My iPhone app useless.
Recommendation: obstruct admission to Control Center from your Device lock screen. No, you won't be able to flip on "DND" with a swipe and a tap anymore, but better be secured than sorry.

Encrypt your data [Android]
Excellent news for fresh buyers of new Android smartphones or tablets with android v5.0 (Lollipop) coming pre-installed: The data on your smartphone is already encrypted, nearly unreadable until it is unlocked with your password.
Older Android smartphones and tablets, however—including those android smartphone that have been upgraded to Android Lollipop—do not have encryption switched on by default. turning it on is a matter of a few clicks, but it could take between half-an-hour (in my case) to several hours before all your device data is completely encrypted, and you won't be able to use your device during that time. You will need to keep your smartphone plugged into its charger throughout the whole process.

Set your iPhone/iPad to send a "ping" to Apple just before its battery dies [iOS]

Here's the last gasp for a missing iPhone or iPad that's run out of juice, leaving it unable to send a "ping" to Find My iPhone. Tap Settings > iCloud > Find my iPhone (or iPad), then switch on the Send Last Location setting.
As the bright print below the setting points out, your handset will send out a final ping with position data to Apple's company servers, so at least you will be familiar with where your iPhone or iPad was before it died out.
