There are plenty of different ways to find your smartphone if it is lost or stolen and Google now allows you to actually Google it.

While plenty of other ways to find your smartphone might be a bit complicated, Google has somewhat simplified the process allowing you to Google your smartphone by logging with your Google account, show it on the map, lock it, erase it, or even make it ring.

While the same feature was previously introduced with Android Device Manager tool, it has now been simplified as all you need to do is type "find my phone" on Google search and it will attempt to locate your device on the map.

“We’ve all been there — you’ve searched under your car seat, tossed around the sofa cushions and you still can’t find your phone. If you know where your computer is, you can now ask Google to find your Android phone from your desktop. If the pesky phone is hiding nearby, Google can ring it for you — or you can see it on the map if you, say, forgot it at the bar. Just make sure you’ve got the latest version of the Google app!”

It is definitely a nice addition from Google and it is that simple.
