Have you lost your phone? If you have a Samsung phone that's signed into a Samsung account with "Find My Phone" activated, you can use Find My Phone on your computer; however, you can't turn on location services remotely using Google. This How.com.vn article will teach you about location services and show you how to use Samsung's Find My Phone.
Steps
Using Samsung's Find My Phone
- Go to https://smartthingsfind.samsung.com/login and sign in. Your phone has to be signed in to your Samsung account for this to work.
- You'll only be able to use this method if Find My Mobile is turned on in Settings > Biometrics and security on your phone.
- Click the phone you want to track. A list of phones associated with your account is displayed in the panel on the left side of the page.[3]
- It may take a few minutes to locate and connect to your phone. You can stop following these steps once you've located your phone and know where to get it.
- Continue only if your phone is still powered on and connected to a cellular or wireless network.
- Click Track location. Clicking this will open a new window in the middle of your screen.[4]
