For users of smartphones, activating Android location services on your Samsung or Oppo device is crucial. Losing your phone becomes less stressful with this useful feature.
Therefore, whether you're using an Android or iOS device, toggling location settings on your iPhone or Android should be a top priority. This is where Android Device Manager comes in handy - an app that supports remote Android management, allowing you to control your Android device from a distance.
How to Locate an Android Device Remotely
When you get your hands on a new Android phone, users typically explore instructions and effective ways to utilize Android for the fullest experience. You may not be aware, but Android Device Manager is a built-in feature that helps you manage your device remotely.
In our previous tutorial, Mytour.vn guided users on using Android Device Manager to remotely control their Android devices. Even when lost, users can proactively ring their devices, despite SIM deactivation, remote data wipe, or phone lockouts.
Similar to the tutorial on remote Android device control, users must first enable Android Device Manager as this feature isn't activated by default. Navigate to Google Settings > Security > Android Device Manager and activate it.
1. Activate Remotely Locate This Device
- First, to ensure Android Device Manager can locate your Android phone remotely, access Google Settings, choose Android Device Manager, and activate Remotely Locate This Device
2. Access Android Device Manager
You can access Android Device Manager in two ways:
+ Through the Android Device Manager app on another Android device
+ Through the Android Device Manager website
After accessing the app on another Android phone or the website and logging in with your Google account, Device Manager will attempt to locate your Android device that you've misplaced. At this point, besides seeing the location on the map, you'll have 3 options: call the phone, lock the device, or erase data.
With the above method, users can pinpoint their devices to see their whereabouts. They can also ring the device even if it's been disabled, lock it, or erase stored data.
Thus, Mytour.vn has guided you on how to locate Android devices through activating the pre-installed Android Device Manager feature. iOS users can also locate their devices through the Find My iPhone feature. Similar to Android Device Manager, users can toggle Find My iPhone on/off on their iPhones for use. However, we advise activating this feature on the device instead of disabling it.
