Location of a lost or stolen phone on google map
Imagine that your smartphone is gone. Perhaps it was stolen, or maybe you lost it or left it in the wrong place. Be that as it may, there is a threat of information, your data, which may be available to an undesirable person. And the value of information is often much higher than the value of the phone itself. After all, we store literally everything in it.
The most reasonable way out in this situation is to block the phone through a Google account.
In this short article we will tell you how to block the phone. At a minimum, it is assumed that you have a Google account and it is connected to the phone. If it doesn't exist, it's easy to create it. It takes only a few minutes. look how to create a google account and how to link google account to phone.
How to lock your phone if it is stolen
1. Sign in to your Google account
Sign in with desktop computer or laptop. To do this, open new tab in Chrome browser and click on the icon of nine small squares in the right upper corner window. Then, in the drop down list available applications select "My account", as in the screenshot below, or immediately follow this link to go to the "Security" page of your account.
Then, scroll down the page to the "Your Devices" section.
2. Start searching
The account page will open. You have to scroll down. At the very bottom, on the left, you will see the inscription "Find a lost or stolen phone"(or already another, but carrying the same semantic load).
Click and you will be taken to the phone search. You can go directly to . There is a high probability that Google will check you for knowledge of your own account password. Which is logical and pleasant, because it is our safety with you!
3. Select a device
In the list of devices, select the one you are going to block. In the screenshot, the list is short, I have only one device.
Choose which phone to block
4. Go to blocking
You will see a menu of all actions that you can perform with the device. Click Lock Phone.
Phone lock
5. Enter data to block
In the form that appears, you will need to enter:

After pressing the "Lock" button, the phone will be blocked through your Google account.
How to lock your phone if it's lost
The locking mechanism is exactly the same as in the case of theft. There is no difference. There is only one caveat here. If you are really sure that the phone is not stolen, but lost, then you can try first:
- ring the phone through google, if the phone is nearby, then it will simply be found
- find the phone on the Google map, this will help you understand what to do next
Follow the instructions "How to lock the phone if it is stolen" to the fourth step. Now, at this stage, click on the "Call" icon.
It will be possible to ring the phone through a Google account, even if the phone is on silent mode or installed very low level sound signal call. This is possible due to the fact that ringer volume control is independent of user settings.
Now you know how to find a phone on silent mode. After all, it also happens that they simply ask someone to dial a number in order to find their phone by sound or call someone, but the phone is on “silent”.
Highly useful service, which is simply difficult to overestimate. I hope parents will understand this immediately. After all, wherever your child is, as long as he has a phone with him, you can always find out where the child is on the mobile.
Follow the instructions "How to lock the phone if it is stolen" to the fourth step. Now, at this stage, click on the "Find" icon.
Find phone on Google map
The screenshot shows that the location of the phone is determined quite accurately. By at least, if it is within a house, cottage, apartment or parking lot, then you will immediately understand where to look.
The screenshot shows that Google also knows the remaining battery power on the device. (69% in this case). What happens if the battery is completely discharged? Google will show the last location of your device when the battery is on. Also valuable information. After all, it may well be that the phone is actually at home, it has not been lost or stolen anywhere. It's just that the battery is completely discharged and you can't call it. By the way, this is the same case when ringing the phone through Google also fails.
So do not rush to block the phone if it is stolen or lost. To begin with, you can simply try to call him, find him on a Google map, and if these measures do not help, then apply a block.
Google has some other valuable features in store. Remotely you can:
- sign out of your account on your phone
- delete all data from the device
What does logging out of the account on the phone give
Everything that you use through it becomes inaccessible. For example, in the "Contacts" list, all contacts created in your Google account will disappear at once. If you use as a photo album Google Photos, then no one will get your photos. The same applies to cloud service Google Drive and mail to gmail.
Do not worry, the data will be lost only on the phone and on it. You can enter your Google account from any other device and make sure they are safe and sound.
By the way, if you still can’t find the phone, or it just broke on its own, or accidentally went swimming on a fishing trip (in washing machine), then here you still benefit from using your account. When buying a new phone, you just need to “link” it to your account, and voila! All contacts restored in an instant!
Delete data from a lost or stolen smartphone
Often, information is more valuable than the device on which it is stored. Few of us securely delete data from their devices, from flash drives, from laptops, this is a topic for a separate discussion. But such a “gift”, like all the information from a smartphone, should not go to anyone. So there is always the last most radical option. Delete all data. Just remember a few important points:
- The data on the flash card may remain intact. It depends on the device itself, its settings and your luck. Do not store anything on the inserted cards, or better yet, do not insert them at all. They are unpredictable.
- You will completely lose control and control over the device. Because it will be reset to factory settings. Block the phone, call, find the phone on the Google map - everything will become inaccessible.
- Resetting will only occur with an Internet connection and with a charged battery.
Wish you good luck and never lose your phone. And most of all - do not lose information about yourself, let it always be only with you.

By registering a Google account on an Android phone or tablet, you agree to one implicit condition: you will be let in but not let out. No, someone will not take your account prisoner and “nail” it forever to the device, just registering Gmail and making it your account is a much more understandable and obvious operation than deleting it. However, there are plenty of ways to remove a Google account from an Android device. They just don't stand out.
This method is included in android features. It will suit you in the following cases:
- You decide to transfer your gadget to the possession of a loved one and you are not embarrassed that he will get access to your data, contacts and applications, since you trust him.
- You need to delete your account to fix some glitch on the device.
- You want to log in with a different account.
You don't have to worry about the data on your tablet or smartphone. After the demolition of the account, all information belonging to it - applications, files, contacts, Personal settings etc. will remain in place. If that suits you, let's go:
- Launch the Settings app (Settings).
- Go to "Personal" -> "Accounts and sync".
- In the column on the right, select desired account Google (address Gmail).
- Tap the menu button in the top right corner of the screen and select the "Delete account" option.
- Confirm your consent to the deletion, enter, if necessary, a password, and after the operation is completed, restart the device.
Something went wrong and the account is not deleted
Several times I had to deal with such an error - when I tried to delete a single Google account on Android (the owner of the gadget), the operation hung and did not complete until you stopped it manually. The account remained in place.
One of the solutions turned out to be extremely simple. It is for the case when you want to log in to the device under a different account, make it the owner, and delete the old one.
- Launch the Gmail app by tapping this icon.
- Open the menu behind the hamburger button in the top left corner of the screen and click Add Account.
- Select Google.
- If you already have another account Gmail entry, click Existing. If not, "New". If you choose the second option, follow the registration instructions mailbox which you will receive next.
- Next, go back to the settings of the Gmail Mail application. Now there are 2 users - old and new. One (usually old) is loaded as the main one, the second one is simply present in the list. Switch to the newly added user by tapping its icon.
- After that, click "Manage accounts" and repeat the operation of deleting the old one. Most likely, this time there will be no problems. The second account will remain the only one and become the owner of the device. All files, contacts, settings and applications of the old account will be in place.
On different gadgets and in different versions Android, individual points of this instruction may not be performed as described. But the principle is the same everywhere.
Deleting data from the Google Accounts app
On some devices, you can delete your account in another simple way. Run system utility"Settings", go to the "Applications" section on the "All" tab. Find "Google Accounts" in the list and click the "Erase Data" button.
On some firmware, you should erase the data not of this application, but of "Google Apps".
Delete Google account and all user data (return device to original state)
This option is applicable in the following cases:
- If the owner does not remember the password of his account and cannot restore it.
- If the above methods of deleting an account do not work correctly or the function is blocked by malware.
- Before selling the gadget and in other similar cases.
You can remove all accounts and all user information from your phone in different ways. The easiest way to do this is through the menu of the same Settings application. In my example, the reset button is located in the "Personal data" - "Backup" section.
On other firmware, both the subsection and the button may be called differently and located in a different place. In particular, on Samsung it is located in the "General" menu and is called "Backup and Reset", on some Lenovo - in the "Restore and Reset" section ("Reset Settings" button). On other devices - somewhere else. Check this in the user manual.
After pressing the button reset android will warn you that all applications, settings and accounts will be completely removed from your tablet or phone. If you agree, click "Reset settings" again and wait about 5 minutes. After restarting, you will get a pristine device.
If the device password protected, which you don’t remember, you can reset in a couple more ways:
- Through recovery menu(option Wipe Data/Factory Reset). How to get to this menu, read the instructions for the device.
- Long press recessed reset buttons located on the body of the phone or tablet. On some models, it is hidden under the back cover.
An even tougher method of deleting an account, when absolutely nothing helps, is flashing the device through a computer, which is similar reinstalling Windows on PC. After that, of course, there will also be no user data and applications left.
Warning: some tablets and phones are so tightly tied to the owner's account that they require authorization under it even after resetting and flashing. And getting around this request is very, very difficult (there is no single solution, it is different for each brand of device). Therefore, while you have access to your Google account information, write down your username and password in notebook or a file on another device and keep it in a safe place.
For those with root permissions
Those who managed to get superuser rights on their device have one more opportunity to demolish their Google account than the rest. You can simply delete the accounts.db file where Android stores account information. For this you will need file manager with access to protected service data, such as Root Explorer, and ... nothing more.
So run root explorer, go to the / data / system folder (on some firmware - to / data / system / users / 0 /), open with a long touch context menu accounts.db and select Delete.
How to log out of your Google Play account, mail and other applications without deleting your account on Android
Some users are wondering if it is possible to remove your account only from the Goolle Play store, Gmail and other applications that use authorization, but keep all files, programs and settings on Android. I answer: you can. If the way to add a second account through mail program did not help, you can do this by changing the password of your current account google records.
For this:
- Log in to the My Account section of Google.com using any web browser. Go to the "Security and login" subsection.
- On the next page, click the "Password" button.
- Enter your current password to verify that it is you. Then you will have the opportunity to change it to a new one.
If your gadget is connected to the Internet, the next time you sign in to Google Play and the mail program, the system will ask you to log in. All you have to do is enter your new account details.
Smartphone or tablet? Maybe even someone stole it. The situation is not pleasant.

Please note that here desired device must be selected again, even if you already selected it in the previous step. Not a very thoughtful moment. (In fact, in the previous step, you can select any device at all. It does not matter, because in the interface remote control it must be selected again.) The system searches for the location of the device and displays it on the map. By the way, it is also a very important thing when searching for a lost gadget.
Actually, we are already at the goal. Click on any of the large buttons to perform the desired action: ring, block, clear. The first function makes the device make a sharp sound - thus bother the thief until his life turns into a nightmare and he himself brings you a gadget on a silver platter. Ringing works on both smartphones and tablets, and even if the volume is completely turned off on the device (and this feature will also help if you cannot find the device in the apartment).
Blocking is the feature we need the most. In this way, you can set a PIN code and display some text on the screen (for example: “Call the owner at such and such a number”). Now no new owner will be able to use the device. When enabled, it will see the following screen with the text you specified:
The device will be immediately locked in this way even if another user is working on it at the moment.
Wipe is an even more brutal feature that cleans up the device's memory remotely. Use it for special needs.
