BlackBerry Protect: Stakes and Opportunities for Users

For those who unfamiliar, via almost two features, the BlackBerry Protect app can help you find your phone in case of misplaced. 

First you must have the BlackBerry Protect app installed on your smartphone.

To enable Location Reporting:

1. From the Home screen or from within a folder, select “BlackBerry Protect”
2. Press the Menu key and select “Options”
3. In the Location Reporting section next to “I want this device’s location to be viewable from the BlackBerry Protect web site”, select the check box
4. Press the Menu key and select “Save”.

However to locate it on a map using the BlackBerry Protect website, make sure that your Smartphone is not turned off , and gets an active wireless connection.

To view the approximate location of your Smartphone, you need to complete the following steps:

1.      From a web browser, navigate to the BlackBerry Protect website and log in using your BlackBerry® ID credentials
2. Click “View Location” and BlackBerry Protect will attempt to locate your BlackBerry Smartphone.

 For more information about Location Reporting, read the BlackBerry Protect User Guide.
