Under the switch, there is a list of the available ways to access the Find My Device feature. The Find My Device app can be used on another Android if there's another one available, but you have to install it from Google Play first. The options it offers are identical to the ones in the following section. Continue reading to find out how you can access the feature from your browser - the most practical and readily-available solution, in our opinion.
How to access Find My Device from your browser
Find My Device can conveniently be used in any browser. To start locating your stolen or misplaced device, access the Google Find My Device page and sign in with the Google account used on the Android device you want to find.
Alternatively, you can also search for "where is my phone" on Google, in any browser where you are signed in with the same account, but this comes with more limited options.
How to select the Android device that you want to find
Many people have multiple Android devices connected to the same Google Account. If you are trying to find another device than the one automatically shown by Google's Find My Device, select the one you want to locate by clicking or tapping on its icon from the list on top.
You can now start interacting with the selected device.
How to find the exact location of your Android device
As soon as you access Find My Device, the service automatically starts searching for your Android. This might take a few moments. When your lost smartphone is located, it gets a notification, and Find My Device displays the Android's location on a zoomable map.
In the top-left corner, under the device's name, the service displays when the Android was last seen, together with the name of the Wi-Fi network it's connected to and its battery level.
If Find My Device can't locate your smartphone, the Android device is either closed or not connected to the internet.
Click or tap the refresh button to try finding it again.
How to remotely ring your Android smartphone
If your smartphone is nearby, but you still can't locate it, Find My Device gives you the option to ring it remotely. Press the Play Sound button, and your Android device starts ringing at full volume for five minutes.
As long as the Android device keeps on ringing, Find My Device displays a Play Sound message. You can click or tap on Stop Ringing to stop the alert at any time.
How to remotely lock an Android smartphone
If your Android device is in the hands of another person, it is important that you lock your smartphone. Luckily, you can do this remotely with Find My Device. At the same time, you can also send a message to the person who now has your smartphone, asking them to call you. Click or tap on Secure Device.
If your Android smartphone was not previously secured, you can first set a lock, preventing the person who has it from accessing it. Insert a password, confirm it, and then click or tap on Next.
A warning lets you know that you won't be able to change this password. Click or tap on OK.
On the next screen, you have the option to send a Recovery message to the person who has the device, together with a phone number where you can be reached. When you are done, click or tap on the Secure Device button.
Find My Device secures your device and lets you know.
All the data is then sent to your Android smartphone, and the device is locked. The person holding your smartphone can see the message you sent and has the option to call you, as seen below.
If you manage to recover your phone, enter your password or PIN to unlock it and get rid of the lock screen message.
How to remotely wipe all the data on your Android device

Google's Find My Device can remotely erase everything on your smartphone or tablet, including your apps, photos, music, files, and settings. To remotely wipe your smartphone, click or tap on the Erase Device option.
Read the information displayed and confirm that you want to go ahead with the process by pressing Erase Device again.
