How to locate your Android using Google’s Find My Device service-

If you wish to locate your Android using Google’s Find My Device service, you can do so easily by downloading the Find My Device from the Google Play Store or even visiting the Find My Device official website. All you have to make sure is that you should visit the app or website which is logged into the same account but from a different phone.

We’d like you to be cautious while using the website from a computer which is publically available or is someone else’s. What you can do in such a case is to access the website with a browser in private or incognito mode and log out when you are done.

1. Launch the Find My Device app or visit the Google Find My Device in a web browser.
2. In case there is just one device in the range, Find My Device will connect to the device on its own. However, if there is more than one device on the map, you can tap to select the name of the one you are trying to find. The name of all the devices will be present at the top of your screen.
3. When you discover your phone on the Find My Device, you can further have three options-

• If you tap on the ‘Play Sound’ your Find My Device will command the phone to ring. Even if your phone is on Do Not Disturb mode, it will start to play a distinct ringtone.
• Tap on ‘Secure Device’ to keep someone who you think can access your phone.
• You can also tap on ‘Erase Device’ if it for sure that your device is stolen. This will erase all the data in your phone.
