To find another device on your Google account, you can use the Find My Device feature. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
1. Open your web browser and go to android.com/find.
2. Sign in to your Google Account using the same credentials you use for your Android device.
3. Once signed in, the Find My Device interface will load, displaying a map with the location of your devices.
Now, in order for the device you are looking for to be found, there are a few requirements:
1. The device you are trying to locate should be turned on.
2. It should be signed in to a Google Account.
3. The device needs to be connected to either mobile data or Wi-Fi.
4. The device should be visible on Google Play.
5. Ensure that the location setting is turned on for the device.
6. Make sure that Find My Device is enabled on the device you are trying to locate.
If all the above requirements are met, you should be able to locate the device on the map provided by Find My Device. The map will show the approximate location of the device, and you can zoom in and out to get a better view.
In addition to locating your device on the map, Find My Device offers a few other useful features:
1. Play Sound: If your device is nearby but you can’t find it, you can make it play a sound at maximum volume for five minutes, even if it is on silent or vibrate mode. This feature can be handy when you’ve misplaced your device at home or in a small area.
2. Secure Device: If you are unable to retrieve your device, you can secure it remotely. This feature allows you to lock your device with a new password, display a message on the lock screen with contact information, and even erase all data on the device to protect your personal information.
3. Erase Device: In case your device is lost or stolen and you are concerned about your data falling into the wrong hands, you can remotely erase all the data on the device. This action is irreversible, so use it with caution and only as a last resort.
By using the Find My Device feature, you can easily locate, secure, or erase your Android devices. It can be a lifesaver in situations where your device goes missing or gets stolen. I personally have used this feature to track down my misplaced device at home multiple times, and it has always been helpful.
