Like Apple's Find My network, the improved Google service uses crowdsourced Bluetooth and location proximity data garnered from supported and participating Android devices to pinpoint the location of lost items.

Track your phone's location using Find My Device

Sign in with your Gmail™ account and password. On the sidebar, you'll see all of our devices. Click on the phone you want to find. On the map, you'll see your mobile phone's approximate location.

Before you sell, give away, trade in, or service a device, you should turn off Find My.

Find My includes Activation Lock — a feature that's designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone or iPad if it's ever lost or stolen. Activation Lock turns on automatically when you turn on Find My on your device.

If Find My shows "No location found" or "Offline"

If Find My can't display the current location (because the phone is powered off or otherwise not sending its location), Find My displays the last location sent by the device or the last known location on the Find My network.

Starting in May, the network will also support new Bluetooth tracker tags from Chipolo and Pebblebee so you can use the network to track down your wallet or keys. Compatible tags are also expected from Motorola, Jio, and Eufy later this year. As on iOS, you'll be able to share access to your tags with multiple users.
