Find Your Lost Phone with Google

I would like to share a very nice feature of Google today. Many people might be unaware of it. "Google Find My Device" lets you remotely track, lock, and erase the data on a lost or stolen phone without installing any additional app. You can also see the battery life remaining on your phone and the Wi-Fi network it is connected to. It's the easiest way to track a lost Android phone.

Follow the steps to locate your Mobile device.

Login to your Google account which you have used to activate on your phone.

1. Click on Google apps icon.
2. then select Account


  


After selecting the account click on the Security tab in left panel.



Scroll down to Your Devices section and click on "Find a lost or stolen phone" button.



Select your device in case you have register more than one phone on your email address.


Verify your account by entering the password of your email address.



Click on Locate icon.


You will see the "Google Find My Device" map.



Click on the refresh icon. The feature will only work if your location service is on. otherwise, it might not work. You can also play a sound on your phone. Which might indicate its location near you. You can check your battery status. Erase device option is also available in case you want to wipe out your stolen phone data.



Please Note that these options of "Google Find My Device" or any other free tracking application will only work if the phone is connected to the internet and location service is ON. Which doesn't seem possible in case of stolen phones. 😎 Thieves are clever they instantly remove the SIM and battery from the phone. Good Luck finding it.

Happy lost phone hunting! 👍
