How to trace Android phone: official app helps in case of theft

Find My Device is the name of the new Google tool to track Android phone. From the GPS coordinates, the application shows on the map the location of the stolen or lost smartphone. The new app comes to replace Android Device Manager, adopting Google Play Protect as a security system.

While it's new, the application has maintained the functionality of the old Android Device Manager, allowing you to fire alarm on the lost phone, lock the smartphone and delete the data remotely, with the touch of a button.
