How Do I Set Up the “Find” Feature on My Phone in Case it Gets Lost or Stolen?

Have you ever lost your phone and not had someone nearby to dial you number? If so, adding the “find” feature to your phone can be helpful whether you just misplaced it at home or actually lost it. Below are the steps to set it up based on your phone type.

iPhone:

  1. Tap on "Settings"
  2. Tap Your Name
  3. Tap on "Find My"
  4. Tap "Find My iPhone"
  5. Slide the toggle switch to ON

You can login to see the phone on a map, and if it is nearby, play a sound to find it. You can also choose "Activate and mark as lost" for your phone.

Android:

  1. Download the "Find My Device App" from the Google Play Store
  2. Open the app
  3. Select "Google Account to Associate the App"
  4. Enter the password for your Google account

You can login to see the phone on a map, and if it is nearby, play a sound to find it. You can also choose "Secure device" to lock it so no one can access it.
