Prey is a tracking, data security and device management app with over 13 years of experience in locating misplaced phones, laptops, and tablets. Available for Android, Chromebooks, iOS, Windows, Ubuntu and MacOS. All devices are monitored under a single account and manageable from the mobile app or the online panel.

**Important**:
- The app suggests you disable the “Delete permissions if not used” option to ensure continuous protection.
- The app requires you grant access to Management of All Files in Android 12 or later. This permission allows for "File Retrieval" (Pro*), beyond images and videos.

- The app requests Accessibility services when using the "Lock" feature. Accessibility is used to block the device, showing an "Access Denied" screen overlay.

- The Power Button Lock feature, it only available on Android versions lower than 9. Android 9 and above include added restrictions that block this functionality.

- The app uses the Device Administrator permission. This allows the Remote Wipe and Lock feature's function

- The App request access to location data in the background to enable the geo-tracking, geofencing, and location history features even when the app is not in use. While most Android devices will automatically request all necessary permissions, some need additional ones to be granted manually.
