Good day Nairalanders,

We at Obejor Online Store are going to be sharing with you some steps that would help you find your lost Android device.

If you lose an Android phone or tablet, or Wear OS watch, you can find, lock, or erase it. If you've added a Google Account to your device, "Find My Device" is automatically turned on.


To use "Find My Device", your lost device must:

i. Be turned on

ii. Be signed in to a Google Account

iii. Be connected to mobile data or Wi-Fi

iv. Be visible on Google Play

v. Have Location turned on

vi. Have Find My Device turned on

Tip: If you've linked your phone to Google, you can find or ring it by searching for find my phone on google.com

Go to android.com/find and sign in to your Google Account.

If you have more than one device, click the lost device at the top of the screen.

If your lost device has more than one user profile, sign in with a Google Account that's on the main profile.

The lost device gets a notification.

On the map, you'll get info about where the device is.

The location is approximate and might not be accurate.

If your device can't be found, you'll see its last known location, if available.

Pick what you want to do. If needed, first click Enable lock & erase.

Play sound

Rings your device at full volume for 5 minutes, even if it's set to silent or vibrate.

Lock

Locks your device with your PIN, pattern, or password. If you don't have a lock, you can set one.

To help someone return your device to you, you can add a message or phone number to the lock screen.

Erase

Permanently deletes all data on your device (but might not delete SD cards). After you erase, Find My Device won't work on the device.
Important: If you find your device after erasing, you'll likely need your Google Account password to use it again.
