What is known about human pain to those who have never lost their phone in silent mode? That feeling when you know that he is close, but you cannot touch … Okay, vanilla lyrics aside. But, you see, the situation is extremely annoying. Although it is easier to get out of trouble wisely than turning the whole apartment upside down. And here's what needs to be done.
The phone is lost somewhere in the vast expanses of the apartment, all the bags have already been checked and all the pillows are upside down. What to do next? First, calm down and don't panic. And secondly, move your laptop or home computer keyboard closer. It is he who will help detect the loss. True, the algorithm for Android and Apple devices
will be slightly different. But it works flawlessly.
If your Android phone is "lost"
1. First, visit android.com/devicemanager. There you will be prompted to sign in to your Gmail account. Do it.
2. After logging in, the site will magically display all your Android devices associated with this account. Check the box next to the missing phone.
3. Now you will see the location of the device on the map (it is logical that geolocation will point to your apartment), as well as three buttons: "erase", "lock" and Ring … Choose a call, and in a couple of seconds you will hear the native trills of your phone. Yes, yes, even if before that he was on silent mode.
If you need to find an iPhone
The algorithm is similar and even simpler.
1. Open iCloud from your computer;
2. Click the Find iPhone shortcut;
3. On the map that opens, select your device and press the Play Sound button. The phone will ring instantly.
Surprisingly, people often found their phones in completely unexpected places. For example, in a dishwasher. So it's better to remember this algorithm - for sure at least once, but it will come in handy.
