Google Find My Device instructions for finding a lost Android phone

I know it is hard to find your lost phone if you are an android user, most of the time you just pray and cry that it will find a way back to you but if not you will just end up buying a new smartphone and we don’t want that. Hold and behold, google can now track your phone like the Apple.

When your Android phone is lost or stolen but hopefully not, Google Find My Device allows you to track its location by displaying its location on a map. When available, it can also display the network the device is currently connected to as well as the battery level.

The Secure Device feature locks the device and signs out your Google Account if you suspect it was stolen. On the lock screen, you can also put a note or your phone number so that whoever finds it can call you.

Additionally, the device has a Play Sound feature that will ring for 5 minutes even when it is in silent mode. This is useful if you only misplaced the gadget at home, in your car, or somewhere close by.

So where can you download it, well you can go to google play store and download google find my device or  sign in with your Google account, and you'll see every device that is connected to your account because it may be in your account already via this website.

Get the Google Find My Device app or go to the website as the first step (see links above). Log in with the Google account that is associated with your Android device.

Step 2: In the top left corner, you can see all of your connected devices, including any other phones, tablets, or accessories.

You could determine its precise location from a map if it's networked. Play Sound, Erase Device, or Secure Device can all be used to locate your device after that.

You can use an erase device to protect your data and information if it is too far away or cannot be recovered.

You will see the last location the device was connected to the internet, though, if it is not connected to the network. As an alternative, you can notify the NTC of the loss and have the device blocked.
