Since a smart mobile contains a lot of data including personal information, your personal information may be compromised if you lose it. The SamsungDive service enables you to minimize the possibility of your personal information becoming public using the remote locking and remote wipe-out functions when you lose your mobile. In addition, you can find the location of your lost mobile using the Find My Mobile function.

Glympse™

image

I am not a big fan of location based apps as I don’t want everyone (social, friends or the world knowing) where I am, but sometimes I think it would be useful for my wife to know or vice versa. In fact it would be great if an app could limit the viewers of my location for a specific amount of time.

Introducing Glympse™ is the easy, safe way to share your real-time location with anyone. To send someone a Glympse, simply select a contact, set a duration, and hit send. Any friend with an internet-enabled phone or computer can view your Glympse without any additional software. Glympse puts you in control of who sees you and for how long.
