Since most mobile users want to find their lost phones, they are looking for the most reliable features that can help them locate their smartphones. Luckily, there are some developed applications and services that have been designed to track down and locate lost or stolen smartphones. In this work, the authors tried to identify a collection of these applications and the information they send to the user in aiding them to find their phone. Since some applications are able to send location information or a photo, this work will look at what metadata is usually sent with the message.
