Android has a built-in mechanism for locating or locking your lost phone?Yes that's old story. But it has gotten even better Thanks to the addition of a trick that seems so obviously great in hindsight. Google hasn’t done the best job marketing it, but it’s actually been baked right in since the release of Android 4.4*.
How To Use This Feature
- If you lose your phone, just follow the following steps
- head over to Google’s browser-based Android Device Manager (Click Here).
- Tap the lock button,
- Toss in a “Recovery Message” (read: a plea to whoever finds the phone to not be a jerk) and an unlock password, and add a phone number where you can be reached.
Now that what i call secured.
Don't be left out : even if you’ve got an Android phone that comes with the locator functionality out-of-the-box, you’ll need to update to the latest build for the phone-the-owner functionality to work.
You can find the update in the Play Store here.
(It works with older Android phones, too — you just have to install the free app yourself)
