To enable Anti-Theft features, simply complete the configuration process from the Anti-Theft card available in the Dashboard.

Alternatively, you can activate Anti-Theft by following these steps:

1. Tap More on the bottom navigation bar.
2. Tap Anti-Theft.
3. Tap TURN ON.
4. The following procedure will begin to help you activate this feature:

NOTE: Additional permissions are required on Android 6 for the Anti-Theft feature. To enable it:

• tap Activate Anti-Theft, then tap TURN ON
• allow permissions for Antivirus to access your device’s location

5. Grant Admin Privileges
These privileges are essential to the operation of Anti-Theft and therefore must be granted to continue.

6. Set Application PIN
To prevent unauthorized access to your device, a PIN code must be set. Every time an attempt will be made to access your device, the PIN will have to be entered first. Alternatively, on devices that support fingerprint authentication, a fingerprint confirmation can be used instead of the configured PIN code. The same PIN code is used by App Lock to protect your installed apps.

7. Activate Snap Photo
Each time someone will try to unlock your device without success while Snap Photo is turned on, Bitdefender will take a photo of him. More exactly, every time the PIN code, password, or fingerprint confirmation you set to protect your device is entered wrong three times in a row, a photo is taken using the front camera. The photo is saved together with the time-stamp and reason, and can be seen when you open Bitdefender Mobile Security and access the Anti-Theft window.

Alternatively, you can view the taken photo in your Bitdefender account:

• go to https://central.bitdefender.com and sign into your Bitdefender Central account

• tap the menu in the upper left hand corner, then select My Devices

• select your Android device, then the Anti-Theft tab

• tap  next to Check your snapshots to view the latest photos that were taken

Only the two most recent photos are saved. Once the Anti-Theft feature is activated, you can enable or disable Web Control commands individually from the Anti-Theft window by tapping the corresponding options.

NOTE: All Anti-Theft features require the background data option to be enabled in your device’s data usage settings.

To access the Anti-Theft features from your Bitdefender account:

1. Access Bitdefender Central.
2. Tap in the upper-left corner of the screen, and then select My Devices.
3. In the MY DEVICES window, select the desired device.
4. Select the Anti-Theft tab.
5. In the Find your device section, click the button corresponding to the feature you want to use:

• Locate – display your device’s location on Google Maps

• Show IP – displays the last IP address for the selected device

• Alert – type a message to display on your device’s screen and/or make your device play a sound alarm

• Lock – lock your device and set a PIN code for unlocking it

• Wipe – delete all data from your device

IMPORTANT!
After you wipe a device, all Anti-Theft features cease to function.

If you wish to enable or disable the remote commands:

2. Tap Anti-Theft.
3. Enable or disable the desired options.
