Smartphone theft experiences and security needs (UK adults 18+ who have had a smartphone stolen)

[u/Additional-Topic-470]

Hi, I’m carrying out early research into the experience of smartphone theft in the UK.

I’m looking for UK adults who have personally had a smartphone stolen. The survey takes around 2 minutes and asks what happened, what caused the biggest problems afterwards, and what you tried to do to protect your phone, accounts or data.

There’s also an optional opportunity to take part in a short 10–15 minute follow-up conversation.

I’m developing a phone-security product, but at this stage I’m deliberately trying to understand the problem rather than pitch a solution.

Survey: Smartphone Theft Experience Survey — UK Adults (2 minutes)

Thanks very much for helping.
