The quick and easy way to locate your missing Android smartphone

 

  1. Play Sound – This is helpful if you are near the device or if you have misplaced your device at home. This option will result in a loud buzzer that will help you locate the device.
  2. Lock Device and Sign out of Google – This option will lock your Android device and your Google Account will be signed out of that particular device. This way, the person who has your device will no longer be able to use any of the features or access any of your data on the device.
  3. Erase your device – If you are sure that there is no way to retrieve the lost device, this is the kill switch. By enabling this option, all the content on your device will be erased natively. This is the last resort and must be used only when you are 100% certain that the device is now, for all intents and purposes, lost.

Keep in mind that some of these options may require you to sign in, so keep your login credentials ready. Along with these options, you can also approach the authorities who will be more than capable of assisting you in recovering your device.
