Some devices have the ability to locate your device in case it is lost or stolen.

Some applications are free, but some offer a paid version that includes features like a VPN and identity theft protection. These premium apps cost between $15 and $30 a year. Some also provide a yearly subscription, which gives you unlimited access.
