In this article, we will walk you through the steps to take before your Android goes missing and what to do if it does.

Take Precautions

The first thing that any Android owner should do once they purchase a new device is install the Find My Device app. This app is designed to help you locate your lost Android and put a lock on it until you get it back so that no one can access your private information. Some of the features of this app include:

  • Use indoor maps to help you find your device inside airports, malls, or other large buildings

  • Play a sound at full volume, even if your device is on silent

  • Erase the device or lock it with a custom message and contact number on the lock screen

  • See network and battery status

  • See hardware details.

If you download this app on your Android as soon as you get it, you'll then be able to track your device via another Android or tablet should you ever lose sight of it.

What To Do If Your Android Is Missing

If your Android gets lost, you can take a few steps to find, lock, or erase your device before it gets into the wrong hands and it copy your important data via a phonecopy app. In order to do any of those things, that Android phone must:

  • Be turned on

  • Have Location turned on

  • Have Google Play visibility turned on

  • Have 2-Step Verification backups turned on

You can check all of these settings by going to your device's settings and opening the "Security" or "Google Security" settings. Once these settings are enabled, you can go to android.com/find and sign in to your Google Account. From there, you will be able to locate your device on a map, play a sound to help you locate it, lock it, or erase it remotely.

Wrapping Up

Losing your Android can be a stressful experience, but with the Find My Device app and the steps outlined in this article, you can locate, lock, or erase your device remotely to keep your information safe. Remember to download the app and enable the necessary settings as soon as you get your device to ensure you're prepared in case it ever goes missing.
