According to a recent report, we now spend an average of 4.2 hours per day using our mobile phones - an increase of 30% from just two years prior.

That rounds up to 64 days a year that the average person spends liking, commenting, and swiping right. Yet, despite being tethered to our smartphones more than ever before, over 70 million devices are lost or stolen each year, with only 7 percent ever being recovered. Don't get caught out

But what should you do if the unthinkable happens? The first thing is not to panic - especially if you have ESET Mobile Security installed, because you
can use its pro-active anti-theft feature to track your device's location and protect it from unauthorised access.

You can even display a message to the finder in the event of the device being lost. Plus, through the ESET Anti-Theft portal, you can perform specific actions using SMS commands sent from a trusted contact's device such as a partner or parent.

Should you be concerned that your device might have been stolen, you can go a step further and use ESET Mobile Security to remotely wipe your device and back up your valuable data. You can even set ESET Mobile Security up to take
