Through your Google account:

1- First step:

To find or locate a lost or stolen Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 and know its approximate location, we first need to have access to a computer, tablet or smartphone with an internet connection.

Open the following page https://www.google.com/android/find.

If you have another Android device linked to the same account, we can do it through an application called “Google Find my device” from Google LLC. We recommend using the official Google application and not any other application available on Google Play.

5- Fifth step:

If we do not hear the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 ringing, it is not close enough, or we do not know where it could have been lost or if it could have been stolen, we go to the next step which will consist of trying to find out its approximate whereabouts.

If we cannot locate it, we can block it by showing a message or a phone number on the screen so that the person who found it can locate you. Click on “SECURE DEVICE” this will lock the Galaxy Tab A 9.7 and log out of your Google account.

7- Seventh step:

If we cannot locate the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 after several days, and we consider it lost, we can definitely delete all its content, photos, emails, applications, social media accounts, credit cards, etc.

You must bear in mind that once all the content is deleted you will not be able to go back or locate it, this is a step to prevent whoever finds or has your Galaxy Tab A 9.7 from accessing your personal information.

To carry out this complete deletion, click on “ERASE DEVICE”, it may ask us to re-enter our Google account to avoid deleting everything by mistake and make sure that no one else can delete the content of your Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7.

Through a third-party application:

This option will only work by previously installing an APP through the application store, that is, you must install it before losing the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7.
There are many applications of this type but, all really do the same function as Google's Find my Device.

But in case you do not have a Google account or do not want to use their services there are applications like Safe365 or SeekDroid that you can find in the application store you use, be it the Play Store, Galaxy Store, AppGallery, Uptodown, APKpure or Aptoide.

To download an application for tracking or locating mobile devices in your Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7, go to the application store you use, search for "Find my phone", "Find my mobile" or "Find my device" and download the application that has the highest number of positive reviews and a large number of downloads, these applications may include advertising or a paid service in order to work.

Through Samsung service:

Samsung has an alternative service to recover your Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 called Find my Mobile, for this you must have a registered and active Samsung account.
These are the steps:
- Access to https://smartthingsfind.samsung.com/login
- Sign in with your Samsung account
- Click on “Locate my mobile”, “Locate my cell phone” or “Locate my device”
The functions of this service are the same as those of the Google service but some say it works better.

You can locate your Samsung, display a message on the screen, activate the sound at maximum volume even if it is silent or vibrate mode, block it or erase all your information.
Unlike Google's service, Samsung will allow you to access a list of calls made from your Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 with which you can see if the person who has your Galaxy Tab A 9.7 has made a call and try to locate the device in that way.
You can also make a call diversion which is very useful not to miss any calls and that the person with the Galaxy Tab A 9.7 can not answer the calls.

Once the complaint is filed, you can contact your telecommunications company and block the device through IMEI so that it can not be used, this IMEI will be added to a blacklist of devices and if activated in any of the countries that respect this list Black will be communicated to the authorities and automatically blocked so that it can not be used.
