Locate & Control a lost or stolen phone or tablet from another Android device @ ‘Find My Device’


Locate & Control a lost or stolen phone or tablet from another Android device @ ‘Find My Device’

Google has updated their awesome “Android Device Manager” app and given it a new name.
It’s now called the more intuitive Find My Device, and it works even better than ever.

With all the personal information that’s stored on smart phones these days, it makes sense to do whatever we can to keep that data out of the hands of would-be scammers and identity thieves.

This app is a great tool for accomplishing that if your Android device ever gets lost or stolen.
Find My Device lets you use another Android device to: 

1 – Locate a lost or stolen Android device on a map
2 – Remotely change the device’s lock code to prevent a thief from using it or accessing the information stored on it
3 – Remotely erase all the user data stored in the device’s memory

There are two prerequisites for using the app to locate and control a missing device:

1 – The missing device must be associated with a Google account that you control.
2 – It must also be turned on and connected to the Internet via 3G/4G or Wi-Fi.

You can download Find My Device for free from the Google Play Store.

Bottom line: If you lose your smartphone or other Android Device, there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to find it again. But this awesome app will give you the best chance possible!
