Quick tip of the dayDottie from Boston, Massachusetts loves to go on long walks with her partner. Unfortunately, that means she sometimes loses her phone while enjoying the scenery. She asked me for the best app for tracking down her lost Android. I suggested Google Find My Device. By installing this app on a trusted person’s phone, you can use Google Maps to find your way back to your lost Android. You can even secure the device to make sure strangers aren’t sneaking through your secrets. Even better, you can add a message for anyone who finds your phone, letting them know where to find you. In a worst-case scenario, you can even erase the device. (Hopefully, you’ll find it before you start considering that, though.) Download the app here for Android. I didn't forget about you, iPhone owners. Here's how to find your lost device. |
