Google provides tools that can help locate and secure a compatible Android device. Availability and controls can vary by device, account, connectivity, and settings.
What you should know
If the phone is believed to have been stolen, do not put yourself at risk trying to recover it physically. Use official account and carrier channels and provide authorities with relevant information when appropriate.
Practical steps
- Open Google's official device-finding service
- Sign in to the correct Google Account
- Review the device status
- Use available secure or locate actions
- Contact your carrier if the device or SIM needs to be suspended
Important notes
Menu names and available features can vary by phone manufacturer, model, Android version, country, and carrier. Always match instructions to the exact device you own. Do not use unofficial tools to bypass account protection, device locks, or security controls.
