Tech giant Google has introduced a new feature that helps users to pinpoint a lost or stolen mobile phone.<\/p>\n
In 2015, Google introduced the ability to track the current location of the user\u2019s Android phone on a map when searching for \u201cfind my phone\u201d as part of its My Account hub.<\/p>\n
The handy page offers quick access to a range of privacy and security tools.<\/p>\n
Heading to the My Account hub will now show a new tab marked \u2018Find your phone\u2019.<\/p>\n
With a couple of clicks, users can make the missing phone ring at maximum volume, lock it with a message and contact number on the screen or locate its precise location using Device Manager.<\/p>\n
If a phone goes missing, the owner can search for \u201cI lost my phone\u201d to bring up the My Account page in a flash.<\/p>\n
Sadly for iPhone users, the new feature only works on Android with Apple phone users instead herded towards iCloud and Apple\u2019s Find My iPhone tracker.<\/p>\n
