iPhone owners, especially those who may have bought the latest iPhone 4S, if you’re looking for a way to help protect your smartphone, Lookout Mobile has launched a new app for you guys called the Lookout Mobile Security. It’s free and offers some features which aren’t exactly groundbreaking, but could be handy, such as:
Missing Device – allows users to locate their lost or stolen phone on a map, or sound a loud alarm to find it nearby (i.e. if it’s stuck in the couch cushions).
System Advisor – notifies users of their settings and/or out-of-date software that could put them and their privacy at risk.
Wi-Fi Security – alerts users when they are connect to an unsecure Wi-Fi network to ensure they don’t expose their sensitive personal data like passwords or account information.
Location Services – provides users with the ability to set which apps can access their location.
Backup & Restore in the cloud – just because you haven’t backed up your contacts for some time, that doesn’t mean you don’t want them stored securely outside of your phone. Lookout will do this part for you automatically.
Management – by using a web-based interface, users are able to keep tabs on multiple devices, including the iPhone, iPad, and even Android phones or tablets.
