Quick and easy steps to find your missing Android
Three simple tricks to free up valuable space on your device.
You're about to run out of the house, and suddenly your phone is nowhere to be found. Or you get in your car after being at the store, and your phone's not in your bag.
Does this scenario sound familiar? Whether you're someone who loses or misplaces your phone frequently or just once in a blue moon, we've all been there.
Unfortunately, finding your phone is not so easy. Perhaps you try calling it, but your ringer is on silent. Or it fell into the cracks somewhere, and you can't see the screen light up. Luckily, there's another way to find your Android phone if you're unsure where you last left it.
1. Ping your phone using your smartwatch
One way to find your Android phone if you're not quite sure where you last left is to rely on your smartwatch, which you can use to ping your phone. This feature sends a signal to your phone, making it ring loudly even if it's on silent, helping you locate it quickly.
Open the watch app:Â On your Android watch (such as a Samsung Galaxy watch), swipe down to access the quick settings menu.
Find the Find My Phone icon:Â Look for an icon that resembles a phone with sound waves around it.
Ping your phone:Â Tap the icon, and your phone will start ringing, making it easier to find.
