To remotely turn on the location on your Android device from another device, you can use Google’s Find My Device service. This service allows you to locate, lock, and erase your device remotely. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to turn on your location from another device:
1. Open a web browser on your computer or any other device.
2. Go to the Find My Device website by typing “google.com/android/find” in the address bar.
3. Sign in to your Google account using the same account that is associated with your Android device.
4. After signing in, you’ll see a map displaying the last known location of your device, along with some options on the left-hand side.
5. On the left-hand side, click on the “Location” option. This will enable the remote location feature on your device.
6. If prompted, you may need to grant the necessary permissions to remotely locate your device.
7. Once the location feature is enabled, you can now track the current location of your device on the map displayed on the website.
Additionally, to ensure that your device can be remotely located, you may need to check your device settings. Here’s how to do it:
1. On your Android device, go to the “Settings” app.
2. Scroll down and tap on the “Security” option.
3. Look for the “Remotely locate this device” option and ensure that it is turned on. This allows your device to be located remotely.
4. Similarly, check the “Allow remote lock and erase” option and make sure it is turned on. This allows you to remotely lock or erase your device if needed.
By following these steps, you should be able to remotely turn on the location on your Android device using Google’s Find My Device service. It’s worth mentioning that your device needs to be connected to the internet and have location services enabled for this feature to work effectively.
Please note that the steps and options may vary slightly depending on the Android version and device model you are using.
