18. ANTI-THEFT FEATURES
Bitdefender can help you locate your device and prevent your personal data
from getting into the wrong hands.
All you need to do is activate Anti-Theft from the device and, when needed,
access Bitdefender Central from any web browser, anywhere.
Bitdefender Mobile Security for iOS offers the following Anti-Theft features:
Remote Location
View your device's current location on Maps.
The accuracy of the location depends on how Bitdefender is able to
determine it:
● If the GPS is enabled on the device, its location can be pinpointed to
within a couple of meters as long it is in the range of GPS satellites
(i.e. not inside a building).
● If the device is indoors, its location can be determined to within tens
of meters if Wi-Fi is enabled and there are wireless networks available
in its range.
● Otherwise, the location will be determined using only information from
the mobile network, which can offer an accuracy no better than several
hundred meters.
Remote Lock
Lock remotely your device's screen.
Remote Wipe
Remove all personal data from your estranged device.
Activating Anti-Theft
To enable the Anti-Theft features:
1. Tap the icon from the bottom of the screen.
2. Enable the switch.
3. Grant access to your device’s location so that Bitdefender can locate it
in case it is stolen or lost. This notification appears only when you enable
Bitdefender Anti-Theft for the first time. To manage Bitdefender access,
