Back2You App Tracker

The Back2You App includes a software app tracker, which allows it to track and be tracked by other Android phones running the Back2You App.

App Tracking is disabled by default.

For the best location fixes, then you should leave the GPS option enabled in your phone. The GPS only uses power when a location request is received.

If GPS is disabled then the fix will be network based on cell tower and wifi hotspots.

You can also turn on and off the ringer to help you locate your phone.

If the Tracking phone number is empty, then the app tracker will respond to SMSs with the correct password from any phone.

When a phone number is present, only SMSs from that number will be responded to and a Web Locate will also send a SMS location message to the Tracking phone.

Back2You Web Locate

If you loose your phone running the Back2You App and you have enabled the Back2You App Tracker, then you can use the Back2You Web Locate to help find your phone.

Just sign in using your Google account that matches the one on your phone and then you can use the Locate button to show your phone's location in Google Maps.

The accuracy of the fix depends on whether GPS is enabled on your phone.

You can also turn on and off the ringer to help you locate your phone.
