如何查找或跟踪被盗的 Android 手机(Stolen Android Phone)
Android 的内置移动跟踪功能:Google 的 Find My Device(Android’s Built-in Mobile Tracking Features: Google’s Find My Device)
如果您使用的是Android智能手机,请花点时间感谢开发人员为您的手机内置的所有防盗措施。安全锁屏密码或 PIN 等简单功能可以证明(Simple features like a secure lock screen password or PIN can prove)对保护您的数据非常有效。几乎(Almost)所有现代智能手机都配备了先进的指纹传感器( fingerprint sensors),不仅可以用作锁屏密码,还可以作为应用程序的额外安全层。除此之外,一些设备甚至具有面部识别技术。但是,除非您使用的是高端Android智能手机之一,否则请避免使用面部识别作为您的主要密码(avoid using facial recognition as your primary passcode). 这是因为廉价Android智能手机上的面部识别技术不是那么好,并且可以通过使用您的照片来欺骗。因此,故事的寓意是为您的锁定屏幕设置一个强密码( set a strong password),并至少为您的银行和 数字 Android 移动钱包(digital Android mobile wallet)应用程序、社交媒体应用程序、联系人、图库等重要应用程序设置额外的安全层。
当您的手机丢失或被盗时,第二套Android安全功能就会发挥作用。其中最突出和最重要的是 Google 的“查找(Find)我的设备(Device)”功能。当您在Android设备上使用Google 帐户登录(Google Account)时,此功能就会被激活。它允许您远程跟踪您的设备并执行更多操作(稍后将讨论)。除此之外,您还可以使用各种智能设备(例如Google Home)来跟踪您的设备。如果这还不够,那么您可以随时从Play 商店(Play Store)提供的各种第三方跟踪应用程序中进行选择。您可能会感兴趣阅读,前 28 个最佳错误跟踪工具(Top 28 Best Bug Tracking Tools). 现在让我们详细讨论查找丢失的Android手机的各种方法。
选项 1:使用 Google 的“查找我的设备”服务跟踪您的手机(Option 1: Track your phone with Google’s Find my Device service)
如前所述,每台Android智能手机从使用(Android)Google 帐户(Google Account)登录的那一刻起就可以使用 Google 的Find my Device服务。它允许您检查设备的最后已知位置、播放提示音、锁定手机,甚至远程擦除设备上的所有数据。您只需要一台可以访问互联网的计算机或任何其他智能手机,然后登录“查找(Find)我的设备(Device)”网站并登录您的Google 帐户(Google Account)。
您可以使用“查找(Find)我的设备”执行的各种操作包括:
1. 跟踪您的设备(1. Tracking your Device) - 此服务/功能的主要目的是在地图上查明您的设备的确切位置。但是,为了显示实时位置,您的手机需要连接到互联网。如果发生盗窃,他们极不可能允许这种情况发生。因此,您唯一能看到的是设备在与互联网断开连接之前的最后一个已知位置。
2. 播放声音(2. Play Sound) ——您也可以使用“查找我的设备(Find My Device)”在您的设备上播放声音。即使您的设备设置为静音,您的默认铃声也会继续播放五分钟。
3. 安全设备(3. Secure Device )- 您拥有的下一个选项是锁定您的设备并退出您的Google 帐户(Google Account)。这样(Doing)做会阻止其他人访问您设备上的内容。您甚至可以在锁定屏幕上显示一条消息并提供备用号码,以便拥有您手机的人可以与您联系。
4. 擦除设备(4. Erase Device )——最后也是最后的手段,当所有寻找手机的希望都落空时,擦除设备上的所有数据。一旦您选择擦除设备上的所有数据,您将无法再使用“查找(Find)我的设备(Device)”服务对其进行跟踪。
我们要强调的一件重要事情是您的设备保持连接到互联网的重要性。一旦您的设备断开连接,“查找(Find)我的设备(Device)”服务的功能就会大大降低。您将获得的唯一信息是设备的最后一个已知位置。因此,时间至关重要。如果您在有人故意关闭您设备上的互联网连接之前迅速采取行动,将会有所帮助。
如果您还没有丢失手机并阅读本文为世界末日到来做好准备,您需要确保已打开“查找(Find)我的设备”。(Device)尽管默认情况下始终启用它,但仔细检查并没有错。考虑这种活动类似于在离开前检查您的汽车或家中的锁。请按照以下步骤确保启用“查找我的设备”(Find My Device):
1.首先,在您的设备上打开设置。(Settings)
2. 现在选择安全和隐私(Security and privacy)选项。
3. 在这里,您将找到“查找我的设备(Find my Device)”选项,点击它。
4. 现在确保拨动开关已启用(toggle switch is enabled)并且“查找(Find)我的设备(Device)”服务已打开。
Option 2: Find your Phone using Google Home/Google Assistant
在不太严重的情况下,有时您会将手机放在家里的某个地方。虽然没有什么可害怕或担心的,但还是很令人沮丧的,尤其是当你上班迟到的时候。如果您的位置有Google Home扬声器,那么您可以借助Google Assistant找到您的手机。您只需说“Ok Google”或“Hey Google”即可激活Google Assistant并要求它找到您的手机。即使处于静音模式,Google Assistant现在也会播放您的铃声,从而使您能够找到您的手机。(Google Assistant)
除了拥有Google Home扬声器外,此方法的唯一要求是您的设备连接到与扬声器相同的Google帐户。只要您的手机连接到互联网,此方法就可以完美运行。本质上,此方法仍然使用“查找(Find)我的设备(Device)”功能在您的设备上播放声音。因此,启用“查找(Find)我的设备(Device)”服务非常重要。默认情况下,它始终处于打开状态,因此除非您专门将其关闭,否则您无需担心。
属于不同家庭成员的多个帐户很可能连接到Google Home扬声器。然而,这不会是一个问题。Google Home提供多用户支持,当您家里的任何人放错手机时,它随时准备提供帮助。语音(Voice)匹配功能允许Google Home识别用户并在他们的手机上播放声音,而不是在其他任何人的手机上播放。

How to Find or Track your Stolen Android Phone
Android’s Built-in Mobile Tracking Features: Google’s Find My Device
If you are using an Android smartphone, then take a moment to thank the developers for all the anti-theft measures that are built-in your phone. Simple features like a secure lock screen password or PIN can prove to be very effective in safeguarding your data. Almost all modern smartphones come with advanced fingerprint sensors that can be used not only as a lock screen password but also as an additional layer of security to your apps. In addition to that, some devices even have facial recognition technology. However, until and unless you are using one of the high-end Android smartphones, avoid using facial recognition as your primary passcode. This is because the facial recognition technology on budget Android smartphones aren’t that good and can be tricked by using your photo. Thus, the moral of the story is to set a strong password for your lock screen and an additional layer of security at least for important apps like your banking and digital Android mobile wallet apps, social media apps, contacts, gallery, etc.
When your phone gets lost or stolen, the second set of Android security features comes in to play. The most prominent and important of the lot is Google’s Find my Device feature. The moment you sign in with your Google Account on your Android device, this feature gets activated. It allows you to remotely track your device and do a lot more (will be discussed later). Apart from that, you can use various smart devices like Google Home, to track your device. If that is not enough, then you can always choose from a wide range of third-party tracking apps available on the Play Store. It might interest you to read, Top 28 Best Bug Tracking Tools. Let us now discuss the various ways to find your lost Android phone in detail.
Option 1: Track your phone with Google’s Find my Device service
As mentioned earlier, every Android smartphone can use Google’s Find my Device service from the moment they sign in with their Google Account. It allows you to check the last known location of your device, plays a tone, locks your phone, and even remotely erase all the data on your device. All that you need is a computer or any other smartphone with internet access and log on to Find my Device website and sign in to your Google Account.
The various operations that you can perform using Find my Device are:
1. Tracking your Device – The primary purpose of this service/feature is to pinpoint the exact location of your device on a map. However, in order to show the live location, your phone needs to be connected to the internet. In case of theft, it is highly unlikely that they will allow that to happen. So, the only thing that you will be able to see is the last known location of the device before getting disconnected from the internet.
2. Play Sound – You can also use Find My Device to play a sound on your device. Your default ringtone will continue to play for five minutes, even if your device is set to silent.
3. Secure Device – The next option that you have is to lock your device and sign out of your Google Account. Doing so will prevent others from accessing the contents on your device. You can even display a message on the lock screen and provide an alternate number so that person possessing your phone can contact you.
4. Erase Device – The last and final resort, when all hopes of finding your phone are lost, erases all the data on the device. Once you choose to erase all data on your device, you won’t be able to track it anymore using the Find my Device service.
One important thing that we would like to stress upon is your device’s importance of staying connected to the internet. Once your device is disconnected, the functionalities of Find my Device service is greatly reduced. The only information that you would get is the device’s last known location. Therefore, time is of the essence. It would help if you acted fast before someone intentionally switches off the internet connection on your device.
If you haven’t lost your phone yet and read this article to be prepared when the doomsday arrives, you need to make sure that Find my Device is turned on. Although by default, it is always enabled, there is nothing wrong with double-checking. Consider this activity similar to checking your car’s or home’s locks before leaving. Follow the steps given below to make sure Find My Device is enabled:
1. Firstly, open Settings on your device.
2. Now select the Security and privacy option.
3. Here, you will find the Find my Device option, tap on it.
4. Now make sure that the toggle switch is enabled and Find my Device service is turned on.
Option 2: Find your Phone using Google Home/Google Assistant
On a less serious note, there are times when you misplace your phone somewhere in your house itself. Although there is nothing to be scared or be worried about, it is quite frustrating, especially when you are getting late for work. If you have a Google Home speaker at your place, then you can take the help of Google Assistant to find your phone. All that you need to do is say “Ok Google” or “Hey Google” to activate Google Assistant and ask it to find your phone. Google Assistant will now play your ringtone even if it is in silent mode and thus enable you to find your mobile.
The only requirement for this method to work, apart from owning a Google Home speaker, is that your device is connected to the same Google account as that of the speaker. As long as your mobile is connected to the internet, this method works perfectly. In essence, this method still uses the Find my Device feature to play a sound on your device. Therefore, it is very important that Find my Device service is enabled. By default, it is always switched on and so unless you have specifically switched it off, you do not need to worry about it.
It is most likely that multiple accounts belonging to different family members are connected to the Google Home speaker. However, that won’t be an issue. Google Home comes with multi-user support and is always ready to help when anyone from your family misplaces their phones. The Voice match feature allows Google Home to recognize the user and play the sound on their mobile and not anyone else’s.
