'Find My Phone' feature launched by Google: Lost an Android Phone? Google comes to your rescue

Lost your mobile recently? Are you worried? Well, if you know where your desktop or laptop is, you need not worry about losing your mobile anymore! Simply typing ‘find my phone’ on your PC is what one needs to do when looking for your lost mobile phone. It has never been easy to locate your lost mobile phone. If you are wondering which app or technology has come to your rescue, you will not have to go beyond G O O G L E! Yes, you read it right.

If you an Android mobile user and you have lost your mobile; what you have to have to do is log on to your PC with the same Google account as in your lost device. The latest feature comes as a part of Android Device Manager (ADM) app that will allow the person-in-distress to locate and manage their phones as per their choices. [Also Read: B. R.

The official post of Google’s account on G+ read, “We’ve all been there — you’ve searched under your car seat, tossed around the sofa cushions and you still can’t find your phone. If you know where your computer is, you can now ask Google to find your Android phone from your desktop. If the pesky phone is hiding nearby, Google can ring it for you — or you can see it on the map if you, say, forgot it at the bar. Just make sure you’ve got the latest version of the Google app installed on your device!”

Not only can the lost mobile phone be tracked, the newest feature also provides three other options. The Android user can also ring the phone; the ringer will ring go for full five minutes. One can also save his or her mobile by locking it from the search-page screen. Also, the gift by Google doesn’t end there as one can also erase all the data on the phone if he or she wants to. The new feature has been in function already. [Also Read: Why weren’t Google and Microsoft invented in India, asks Prime Minister Narendra Modi]

The new tracking system comes as a boon to people with a short-term memory span and also to those who went into the D-mode, as soon as they realised that they have been robbed of their smartphone. Get a trial done on Google before (if ) it is stolen by some miscreant.
