[Phone] How do I locate a missing device?
How to find, lock, or erase a lost Android device:
If you lose an Android phone, tablet or Wear OS watch, you can find, lock, or erase it. If you've added a Google Account to your Android device, the Find My Device feature is automatically turned on.
To use Find My Device, your lost device must:
- Be turned on
- Be signed in to a Google Account
- Be connected to mobile data or Wi-Fi
- Be visible on Google Play
- Have Location turned on
- Have Find My Device turned on
Learn how to make sure that your device can be found if it gets lost.
Tip: If you've connected your phone to Google, you can find or ring it by searching for find my phone on google.com.
Remotely find, lock, or erase
- Go to android.com/find and sign in to your Google Account.
- If you have more than one device, click the lost device at the top of the screen.
- If your lost device has more than one user profile, sign in with a Google Account that's on the main profile. Learn about user profiles.

- On the map, see about where the device is.
- The location is approximate and might not be accurate.
- If your device can't be found, you'll see its last known location, if available.
- Pick what you want to do. If needed, first click Enable lock & erase.
- Play sound
Rings your device at full volume for 5 minutes, even if it's set to silent or vibrate. - Lock
