Start by simply typing “Where’s my phone” into the Google search bar. Here’s what to do next:

1. After you’ve typed the phrase and pressed enter, Google will take you to a screen that tells you to sign into your Google accounts. If you have more than one device, it will also prompt you to click on the device you need to locate.
2. Click on the screen and you’ll be directed to a page to enter your Google login credentials.
3. Once you’re logged in, a message will pop up asking you for your permission for Android Device Manager to use your location. Click “Allow.”
4. Another message will pop up from Android Device Manager telling you the location information might not be accurate. Click “Accept.”
5. The Device Manager will then show your phone’s location on Google Maps. You can zoom in further on the map if you need to see your phone’s exact location.
6. If you still can’t find your phone, you can click on the “Ring” button, and Google search will ring your phone for 5 minutes until you power it off. You can also “Lock” your phone’s screen or “Erase” your data if you think your phone’s lost for good.
