Do you know there’s an easy way to locate your missing phone? Well, this trick only works for Android phones. Google’s search engine can do more than just answer your questions. You can also use it to find your misplaced Android phone.If you ever lose your phone or just want to try it for the fun of it, follow these simple steps to locate your device:
- Turn on Location Services by navigating to Settings > Location on your phone.
- Make sure you’re logged into your Google account on your phone. You can sign in by heading over to Settings >Accounts.
- Your phone also needs to be linked to Google in order for this to work. This allows you to send information from your computer to your Android phone, such as Google Maps directions that you’ve looked up on your laptop or desktop.
- Once you’re sure that location services are turned on, you’re logged into Google on your phone, and your phone is linked to Google, try typing “Find my phone” in Google’s search engine. This should pull up a map at the top of your search results that shows your phone’s location. You may be asked to sign into your Google account again for security purposes.
It’s as easy as that.
