How to Track a Lost Android Smartphone Or iPhone

Written By admind Wednesday 3 March 2021 Add Comment Edit

In general, almost all devices running an Android-based operating system - regardless of brand - use Google services to operate. As we all know, this is because Google created the open-source operating system.

To use Google's Find My Device service, you can use several methods. First, you can access it via https://www.google.com/android/find and log into the Google account which is also used on the lost device.

Or the second way, you can install the Find My Device application from the Google Play Store on another Android device. Then once installed, enter the application with the same Google account as well.

Either using a web page or an application, you can find the last position of the lost Android phone via the map that is displayed, as long as the location and Find My Device features on the missing device are active.

Besides being able to find out the last position, you can also use the Play Sound feature to ring a lost cellphone so that it is easy to find when it is in the same location, the Lock feature to lock the device so that the data is safe, or the Erase feature to permanently erase the data.

Meanwhile, for iPhones or iOS-based devices (including iPad OS), you can use the Find My iPhone feature in a similar way. The difference is, you need to go to the https://www.icloud.com/find page and select Find My Phone or use the application.

With the principle of use that is quite the same as Find My Device, the Find My iPhone feature also has several options such as tracking the last position of the device, lost mode, playing sound, to wiping data or deleting device activation.
