The feeling of panic that comes the moment you realize that the phone has disappeared I think is one of the worst ever. This is because our phones have become important as well as personal objects.

If you find yourself frantically searching in your pockets, backpack, purse or countertop for a lost cell phone in silent mode, don’t panic. Sometimes geolocation isn’t enough to track your smartphone, for obvious reasons. Think for example if it has slipped under a pillow or under the sofa, it is difficult to find it.

But what you may not know is that every phone comes with built-in tools that help protect your information and track your lost phone easily. There are some steps you need to take if your goal is to do ring a cellphone which is in silent mode and find it in seconds.

Lost cell phone with silent: here’s how to find it easily

There are various tools that we do not know, but they are useful on various occasions, such as the one for free up a full cell phone memory. If you have a android phone, all you have to do is go to the address provided on the site. In practice you have to go to the left column and click on “Security”.

Once you have gone to the central part of the item, you will need to scroll until the wording: “Your devices” appears on the screen and then click on it. In this section you can easily select “Find a lost device”. In a few seconds a list will open in front of you with all the devices that are associated with the Google account.

In this list, of course, you will have to find the cell phone that you have lost and which you must therefore find. Once found in the list, you have to click on the arrow on the right side of the row, so you can access the page for more information. On the right you will see the geolocation map. While on the left you will see a variety of device information.

Among the many items, you have to select the one “Play Audio”, so you can make your phone ring even if it’s in silent mode. Once this step is done, the mobile will ring for 5 minutes within which you will have the chance to find it. The first thing you will figure out is if your device is in the house or if you have lost it somewhere else.

If the geolocation shows that your phone is in an address other than your home, for example at work, at a friend, in the car or elsewhere, it is good to repeat this step on site. It is a very useful and hasty operation, as well as essential for all those who have lost their mobile phone.

It is a similar procedure for anyone who has a iPhone and therefore they use the iOS system and not Android. You can do this through the “Find my iPhone” feature, so you can quickly find your phone.
