Have you ever been in a position you do not know where you kept your phone and you later discovered it was somewhere under the bed? Google has made it easier now! You can now search for your phone using your browser!

1. Ensure that you are using google chrome on both your desktop and phone
2. Also make sure that you are singed in with the same account on both devices
3. Type "find my phone" into the google search bar and the result will show the map of your phone's last known location. You can even choose to ring it.
Just tried this now and it worked!
NB. It works only with android devices. Cheers

It rings no matter the mode the phone is currently in. It rang when mine was on Vibration.

Now I think I understand why Google ask some silly questions at their interview. They redefine any market they enter. Nothing is impossible if you can just imagine it.

Google Apps are invasive. I guess people are ignorant of the permission they grant to those apps when installing. They have the right to take picture, record your conversations, store your text messages, access your contacts remotely. Smh
