What’s the best app to track a Samsung phone?

When it comes to tracking and managing a Samsung phone, you have several reliable options—both built-in and third-party.

1. Samsung’s Built-In Option: Find My Mobile

Samsung offers a native solution called Find My Mobile. Here’s why it’s great:

  • No need to install any extra apps (pre-installed on most Samsung devices).
  • Allows you to locate your phone, lock it remotely, wipe data, and even retrieve recent calls/messages.
  • Requires a Samsung account and that the device has been registered.

How to use:

  1. Go to https://findmymobile.samsung.com/
  2. Log in with your Samsung account.
  3. You’ll see options to ring, locate, lock, or erase the device.

2. Google’s Android Option: Find My Device

Works with all Android phones, including Samsung.

How to use:

  1. Visit the above link and log in with the Google account linked to the device.
  2. Select your Samsung device to see its location and available actions.

3. Third-Party Solution: mSpy

For advanced tracking, monitoring, and parental control, mSpy is highly recommended.

  • Lets you track location, check calls, texts, apps usage, and more.
  • Works discreetly, ideal for family and parental use.
  • User-friendly dashboard.

To get started:

This is the best choice if you need features beyond basic tracking, like activity monitoring or parental controls.


Best Practices & Tips:

  • Always use tracking apps legally and with appropriate consent, especially for family members.
  • Enable “Location” on your Samsung device, and keep your Samsung/Google account details secure.
  • For lost devices, act quickly to increase the chance of recovery.

If your main concern is device recovery, Samsung Find My Mobile or Google Find My Device will suffice. For more detailed oversight (e.g., monitoring phone activity), mSpy is the top solution.
