What Do You Need Before Searching?
Before Google plays detective 🕵️, you need:
✔️ To have a Google account linked to the device.
✔️ The GPS to be turned on (if not, Google won’t be able to track it well).
✔️ The device to have internet (Wi-Fi or data).
If you don’t meet these requirements, Google won’t be able to help you. Watch out here! 👀
How to Ask Google to Find Your Device
1️⃣ Open Google from any browser (from another phone, computer, or tablet).
2️⃣ Type “Find my device” in the search engine or go directly to <a href="https://www.android.com/find” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>android.com/find (Google’s official site).
3️⃣ Sign in with the same account you had on the lost phone.
4️⃣ BOOM! Google will show you on a map the approximate location of the device. 🗺️
💡 If the phone is nearby, you can make it ring (even if it’s on silent). Useful if it fell between the couch cushions! 🛋️

✅ Pros:
