Losing your device can be a stressful experience, but there are ways to locate it. Here are some tips and tricks:

  • If you have an Android device, use Google's Find My Device service to locate your device, play a sound, or remotely lock or erase it.
  • If you have a Windows device, use the Find My Device feature to locate it on a map, or ring the device to help you find it.
  • If you have a Mac, use the Find My app to locate your device on a map, play a sound, or remotely lock or erase it.
  • If you have a smartwatch, check if it's connected to your phone and use the phone's Find My app or Google's Find My Device service to locate it.
  • If you have a tracking device installed on your device, use the accompanying app to locate it.
