What to Do If You Find a Lost Phone

Have you ever stumbled upon a lost phone and wondered what to do with it? Whether you find it in a public place or on the street, it's important to take the right steps to ensure it gets back to its owner.

  1. Check for emergency contacts: Most smartphones have a "Medical ID" or "Emergency" feature that allows you to access emergency contacts without unlocking the phone. Try tapping on this feature to see if there are any emergency contacts listed that you can call.

  2. Look for a lock screen message: If the phone has a lock screen message, it might have contact information for the owner or instructions on what to do if the phone is lost. Follow these instructions to help the owner get their phone back.

  3. Try calling or texting: If the phone is not locked, try calling or texting a friend or family member from the contacts list. They may be able to get in touch with the owner and let them know their phone has been found.

  4. Use a lost and found app: Loofie is a great app to use if you find a lost phone. It allows you to create a listing with details about the phone and its location, which can help the owner find it quickly.
