Use Owner Info to make it easier to reclaim a lost device


Having a pattern or PIN lock on your phone or tablet is always a good idea, but what happens if you lose the device, and a good Samaritan finds it and wants to return it? How is he or she supposed to know who it belongs to? Well, hidden inside the Owner Info menu, there's an easy way to provide your identity.

Share your owner information to help do-gooders return your phone.
The Owner Info feature will be in the Security section of the main system settings, or under My Device > Lock Screen on newer Samsung phones. You can add any info here you want, but an email and alternative phone number are safe bets. Just check the option above the text field to have the Owner Info displayed on the lock screen. Be aware, OEMs that heavily customize the lock screen (cough, cough—HTC) sometimes do away with this feature.
