In addition to effective blocking, the application will offer features for tracking and recovering lost devices, providing users with effective means of dealing with theft situations.
The expectation is that this hardware contribute significantly to reducing the illegal trade in stolen cell phones, discouraging the activities of criminal networks specialized in this type of activity.
The “Celular Seguro” app should be launched soon
However, as highlighted by the Ministry of Justice and Public Security (MJSP), the use of Secure Cell Phones does not replace the user's direct communication with banks, telephone operators and online platforms.
Furthermore, the importance of registering incidents with the police authority is emphasized, ensuring a comprehensive approach to resolving cases of robberies and theft of mobile devices.
The application is expected to be released this Tuesday (19) for Android, IOS and computers, after successful completion of the necessary tests and adjustments.
This application represents a bold step in the use of technology as an ally in promoting public safety, meeting society's demands for modern and efficient solutions to the challenges faced in contemporary times.
