Ik works like a charm.



Is there something similar for iOS?

    No. Even if you have iCloud set to automatically download apps on all devices, you'd still need to set up said app on each device.



    It's a fundamental difference in the way Apple and Google do things.

    And consequently the fundamental difference between losing and retrieving a lost or stolen phone.

    If you plan to lose it, install Find My iPhone on it. It's not hard. If you're in a high-theft area, you should be smart enough to take security measures like that, and likely already would have with your home, car, and other possessions.



    Who would want to steal an Android phone?
