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.

I live in Pretoria, South Africa, where I currently own and manage a digital marketing and design agency with my husband and business partner. I've been working in marketing in one form or another for the past 12 years. I initially worked in IT and project management, handling technical projects throughout SADC. From there, I moved on to work for an IBM subsidiary, handling all partners and marketing events throughout Africa. I was eventually head hunted to work for a local company to head up their marketing department, including all digital, social, print, and events marketing. Despite my full-time employment, I would also participate in several writing projects in my own time, including editing and proofreading novels, writing shorts, poetry, and ebooks, and studying other marketing-related activities, such as Google Ads and tools. Eventually my partner and I started our marketing agency, where we currently support several local and international clients, providing copywriting services, social media management, web design and hosting, and related services. Many of my skills are self-taught or learned through online studies, including design and advertising. The written word has always been a passion. I'm an avid reader of Saul, King, Dan Brown, Pratchett, and Koontz. I also enjoy ancient histories, fables, and mythologies, and WWII documentories.

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.
