Features of Google find my device app.

When a mobile phone is lost, the first question that comes to our mind is about the security of the mobile phone.

Whether the mobile was locked or not, if other people get the data or files there or if someone gets the mobile, how will he contact me.

There are many such questions that Google has put the following features in this app for users using their Android device.

1. Check your device’s location

The first feature is to try to find out about the location.

After the mobile is stolen, you will be able to know the location of your mobile.

However, in this case, you have to have GPS on your mobile; it is possible to track the location through GPS.

When we tried this app, every feature of it worked properly.

However, when trying to see the location of the mobile, the exact location of the mobile was not shown even though it showed the location next to the mobile.

So, you can know the location of the lost mobile through this app, but you can't know the exact place.

2. Play Sound

Often, our mobile comes and stays somewhere next to us even though we can't find it.

So, seeing this problem, the feature of Play sound has been added here.

After logging in to the Find my device service, you will see the “play sound” option first after the name of the mobile.

If you click on Play sound, the ringtone will play on your mobile for 5 minutes.

No worries, even if your mobile was muted, the ringtone will sound loud.

With this, if your mobile comes somewhere next to you, you will understand immediately.

3. Secure Device

Here is a great feature called Secure Device.

With this feature, we can lock our lost android device.

In this case, even though your mobile phone was not given a screen lock, the mobile will be locked, and no one can enter your mobile. Can't sleep.

Also, your Google account will be logged out as soon as the phone is locked.

If you want, you can display a message or mobile number on the lock screen.

With this, if someone wants to contact you and turn the mobile, he can do so through the message or mobile number shown on the screen.

4. Erase Device

If, in the end, you think that you will not be able to turn your mobile in any way, then you can delete all the data in the device using Erase Device.

There are many times when we have many personal and important data or files on our mobile.

And, if the mobile is lost or stolen, there is a fear of data leak.

In that case, if you lost your android smartphone and you can't find it,

Then you can delete every content on the mobile using the Erase Device option in Google Find My Device.

However, remember, once erased, you can no longer locate the mobile.
