Who doesn’t know it. You need your cell phone, but you can’t feel it in your pocket. The fear that then goes through you is indescribable. Fortunately, you will be spared this blind panic next time, because with this handy tool you will find your Samsung smartphone again in no time.
If you have a Galaxy smartphone and have lost it, you can use a “find my mobile” function. Samsung has developed a powerful tool that allows you to locate, lock and even reset your Galaxy device remotely. Thank goodness, because with the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra still a long way off, you’ll have to get by with the smartphone you have now.
How do you set up the Find My phone tool?
The feature does not work without a Samsung account. Therefore, create one first, if you don’t already have one. Once created you can proceed with the following steps.
Step 1: Go to the settings of your Samsung smartphone and click on biometrics and security. Here you will find different options for the security of your Galaxy device. Next, enable the “find my mobile” option. To make it even more secure, you can also choose to enable ‘send last location’ or ‘unlock remotely’.

Step 1: Go to this website.
Step 2: Log in with your Samsung account.

Track location provides you with the approximate location of the device. Clear data allows you to reset the device remotely. There are also options to back up your data, retrieve calls and messages, remotely unlock the device, and put the device in a power saving mode.
With Find My Mobile, you no longer have to wonder where your mobile is hiding. It’s a quick and easy way to locate your Samsung smartphone when it gets lost at home.
