To locate, lock, or erase a lost device logged into your Google account, use Google Find Hub (formerly Find My Device). [1, 2]
How to Use Find Hub
- Open a web browser and go to Android Find Hub or open the Find Hub app on another device.
- Sign in with the Google Account (Gmail and password) that is logged into your lost device.
What You Can Do
- Play Sound: Make your device ring at maximum volume for 5 minutes (even if it is set to silent). [1]
- Locate on Map: View its current live location or its last known location if the device is offline. [1]
- Secure Device / Mark as Lost: Lock the screen with your PIN, pattern, or password, display a recovery message or phone number on the lock screen, and sign out of your Google Account. [1]
- Factory Reset / Erase Device: Remotely wipe all data from your device if you believe it cannot be recovered (note: you will no longer be able to track it after erasing). [1]
Manage Signed-In Devices
To review or sign out of a device that has access to your account:
- Go to your Google Account Security Settings.
- Under the Your devices panel, select Manage all devices.
If you'd like, let me know:
- Is your lost device an Android phone/tablet or an iPhone/computer?
- Do you need help changing your Google Account password to protect your data?
