Find Hub (formerly Find My Device)

How Google's Find Hub locates, rings, secures or erases a lost Android phone, and what must be turned on in advance.

Android · Rain Wiki

Find Hub, formerly called Find My Device, is Google's service for locating a lost Android device. From the Find Hub app or android.com/find you can see the device on a map, make it ring, secure it with a message on the lock screen, or erase it, as long as it was signed in to a Google account with the feature turned on.

What must be on beforehand

The phone must be signed in to a Google account, have location turned on and the Find Hub setting enabled (Settings > Google > All services > Find Hub, or Settings > Security). Some functions need the phone to be online.

Options

Play sound rings for five minutes even on silent. Secure device locks the phone and can show a message or phone number. Factory reset device erases it remotely; after that it can no longer be located.

What to do when a phone is lost

  1. Open android.com/find on a computer, or the Find Hub app on another device, and sign in.
  2. Select the lost phone and check its location.
  3. Use Play sound if it is nearby, or Secure device if it may be stolen.
  4. Erase it only as a last step, and report a theft to the police and your carrier.

Cautions

  • Do not try to recover a stolen phone yourself.
  • Erasing removes the ability to locate the device.
