Android News: Google’s new “find my phone” feature hits the desktop

Google announced a new command that can be entered on the Google search page that will help you find a misplaced Android phone. Using the command “find my phone” will trigger your device to start ringing at full volume for up to five minutes to help you locate it.


If you give “find my phone” a try, you will also discover that Google will display a map showing the location of the device. This could be used to locate a phone that may have been left behind at a store, restaurant or a friend’s house.


Google has other solutions available for finding wayward Android devices, like the Android Device Manager. However, this new method merely requires a user to be logged in to their Google account from a desktop browser. In testing, I did note that on my device the location process triggered the Android Device Manager as a notification was shown indicating the device had been “located.”
