A Reddit user known under the pseudonymu/Sh0hamdecided to use Alexis Ohanian's social network to share an original story that says a lot about the capabilities of oursmartphonesto be found in the event of a problem. It all started a few days ago, when the individual in question decided to go on a boat trip on the Indian Ocean.
Near Zanzibar, an archipelago close to the coast of Tanzania in the east of Africa, an incident ends up projecting itsiPhoneoverboard to the point where it was impossible to recover it. And if we could think that the unfortunate event stops there, it is without counting on the applicationLocate.
Drafted like nothing happened
Indeed, given that he had enough battery and that the sensor allowing him to determine his geographical position was activated, the unlucky person was finally able to follow the movements of his device according to the swell via the positions communicated to him by the appLocate, also available on Mac and iPad and automatically installed on iOS.
And to top it all off, the iPhone was packaged in a plastic bag that allowed it to withstand salt water, not leak, and not be spotted by another browser who would eventually return it to its owner. All's well that ends well! So, even ifApplehas strong grievances against the sharing of our personal data, having access to our geolocation can prove very useful in certain cases. But be careful not to go too far like Google does,at the risk of being slapped on the wrist by Europe.
