How to Use the Find My Device App?
It’ll usually take just a few minutes to find your android device as long as it’s on and it’s connected to the Internet. You can try the following option to track your lost mobile device.
- Play Sound
- Lock
- Erase
Option 1:
Click ‘Play Sound’ to ring it on the loudest volume for 5 minutes straight even if your device is on silent mode.
Option 2:
If you still can’t locate your phone, your next option is lock it. This allows you to remotely set a screen lock password if you don’t already have one set, such as a pin, password, or pattern lock.
This will protect your data from anyone who might find your phone. In addition, you can display a message that says (if you’re found my phone please call me) for the finder to call on the lock screen.
Option 3:
The last resort is to remotely erase your phone to protect your data. This removes all of your personal data from your device.
So the finder won’t have access to it. This will also trigger device protection rendering the device unusable for anyone but you.
If your phone finds its way back to you, you’ll just need to enter one of your Google Accounts that was on the device when it was reset. Then you can continue through the setup wizard.
Maybe your phone got wedged between your couch cushions. With your phone powered on and connected to the internet, you can easily track and get back your missing device.
