No ads. No registration. No subscription.
Requires Apple Watch

The Perfect Team: PhoneGuard & Apple “Find My”
Apple “Find My” helps you locate, lock, or erase a lost or stolen device.
The “Notify When Left Behind” feature reacts with a delay and is primarily designed for recovery.
PhoneGuard alerts you immediately — before your iPhone is lost.
Even Smarter with PhoneGuard Pro
Unlock Smart Pause for enhanced convenience:
• Lock Screen Access: Turn protection on or off instantly. The current protection status is always visible.
• Safe Zone: Define GPS-based areas (e.g., home) where protection pauses automatically and reactivates when you leave.
• Timer Mode: Pause protection for a custom time period — it automatically reactivates afterward.
Why PhoneGuard?
Over 45% of smartphone users have already left behind or lost their device.
Today, our smartphones contain:
Banking access, two-factor authentication, business data, travel documents, personal memories, and private communication.
Losing your phone can be extremely stressful — especially while traveling or abroad.
PhoneGuard reduces the risk before it happens.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
1. PhoneGuard now available directly on the Lock Screen. Turn protection on or off instantly — without unlocking your iPhone.
• Lock Screen Widget (all iPhone models):
Displays the current protection status above the clock and allows instant toggling.
• Lock Screen Control (iPhone with Face ID):
Optional quick access at the bottom of the Lock Screen — ideal for maximum thumb reach.
2. Smart Wi-Fi Pause removed
Removed for security reasons, as consistently reliable activation and deactivation could not be guaranteed in all usage scenarios.
3. Minor bug fixes and performance improvements.
