New and Improved Android Device Manager - aka Find My Device

The free Utility & Tool Android Device Manager is now available in a new avatar – and has been rechristened as Find My Device. The software tool helps you find your lost Android device, wipe lost phone data remotely, and perform a host of other security functions. This program is also available as a web-app

Simple and Beautiful Interface

Find my Device has purposely come out with a simple, easy-to-use interface to negate every complication there could be to using the app. To use the app, you must link your Google account with your device, and the fetching would start automatically thereafter. Since all Google products don’t need different account credentials, you can benefit from having one account for all your products. The app would display all the devices currently connected, making it easy to manage them all. In case any of the connected devices get misplaced, simply select the particular device from the list, and all the tracking would be done by the app.

All-Round Security

Besides helping you find your lost or misplaced smartphone, Find my Device can reset your screen lock, and delete all your phone data. People who are accustomed to forgetting their device’s lock pattern would find a screen lock reset feature handy. If you are looking for other free alternatives, you may want to download Prey Anti-Theft and Lookout Security & Antivirus as well.

      This app works perfectly like my all time favorite device manager, Find My iPhone. It provides the best location tracker and it can remotely wipe data, set alarm and lock screen just like Find My iPhone. I'm glad that this device manager has the same functions as Find My iPhone especially because I am now an Android user.

      This is now my most favorite device manager. I'm actually a loyal user of Samsung find my mobile but I was not satisfied with the security and features it offers so I searched for an alternative and led me to Android Device Manager. I really love that their location works even without additional set up needed.

      This app is actually recommended by my friend because I often lost my devices frequently and fortunately this app works perfectly with my Galaxy s5. Thanks to this I can now monitor my devices and I don't have to worry too much when I lost my phone now because I know this app will let me know the place where I left it.
