Google Find My Device

Not everyting is lost. Remotely locate, ping lock, factory reset, or play a sound on any lost Android device

Find your missing Android device and secure it until it is recovered.

This is a fundamental feature, as we carry all our private information and access to our banks on our mobile phones.

Features

• View your phone, tablet, or other Android devices and accessories on a map, Google Maps style. If the current location is unavailable, the last known location will be displayed, so you can have a clue on where your device had connection.
• Utilize indoor maps to find your devices in large buildings such as airports and malls. This is pretty cool.
• Navigate to your device’s location using Google Maps by tapping on the device location and then the Maps icon. You can even get directions to it. Really easy and convenient.
• Play a sound at maximum volume, even if the device is set to silent mode. This is useful in case you get to the place and you have no visual access to the device.
• Erase a lost Android device, or lock it and display a custom message with contact information on the lock screen. With erase, we mean a factory reset. It’s really important that you keep a back up of your phone, just in case.
• Check the network and battery status of your device. This can give you an idea of how long you have to find it.
