How easy remotely you can lock, find and erase the data

Remotely find, lock, or erase

1. Go to www.android.com sign in to your Google Account.

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

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

2. The lost phone gets a notification.

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

• The location is approximate and might not be accurate.

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

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

• Play sound: Rings your phone at full volume for 5 minutes, even if it's set to silent or vibrate.

• Secure device: Locks your phone with your PIN, pattern, or password. If you don't have a lock, you can set one. To help someone return your phone to you, you can add a message or phone number to the lock screen.

• Erase device: Permanently deletes all data on your phone (but might not delete SD cards). After you erase, Find My Device won't work on the phone.
