How to track a lost phone in Kenya

It is devastating when you lose your phone. It is even more stressful if you have to track it. It is nearly impossible to track a lost mobile device.

However, in today’s age of technology, you can easily track your device or someone without the need of a private detective. You can do it by yourself using a smartphone and an internet connection.

This is made possible by Google’s Android Device Manager.

You can easily track your phone provided that your lost device is connected to a google account, internet access, and the location is on.

How to locate your lost phone

1. Visit android.com/find on your PC, or another device.
2. Sign in to your Google account.
3. Select the particular device you are searching for if you have more than one.
4. You will be presented with the approximate location of your lost device.
5. You have three options to choose from, making it ring even if your device is set to silence, Locking it with a PIN password or pattern even if you didn’t have one set before.
6. You can write a message on the lock screen. For example, you can write “please call this number if you have my device”
