Smartphones are no longer just a means of talking to each other, they are also helping in many other ways. Losing a smartphone is nothing short of a disaster, and it's not easy to track if the device falls or loses. The good thing is that if your smartphone is still connected to the Internet, Google makes it easier to track. Apart from the Internet, GPS should also be on and the device should be logged in with the help of a Google account, which is to be setup on every new Android device.
Get to the desktop with Gmail: Sign in to Gmail after opening the browser on your computer.Top click on the profile icon that appears in the right corner. Select a lost or stolen phone in your Devices section.
Gmail app : You can also track lost devices from the Gmail app on another phone. Sign in with your Google account in the app. Tap manage your google account option here. Now tap find a lost or stolen phone after going to security.
Look at your device on the map: Both of the above ways will help you track the device and the map will appear on your screen. If you see a green mark here, it will be your device's current location. However, if you see this marquee gray color, it means that your device's last location was recorded in that location.
Option to delete or lock data: If you're not around the device and can't search for it, the device can be locked from google find my phone itself and you can also delete the data if you want. Follow these steps after locating your device, click on 'Enable lock & erase'. Now you can lock the device with a PIN, pattern or password. You can also display a message or your number on the lock screen. All data from the device's internal storage will be deleted.
