I recently switched to an iPhone as my main device, but I still use my old Samsung for work and constantly misplace it. Is there a reliable app I can use to track and ring my Samsung phone directly from my iPhone? I would prefer something that works smoothly across both platforms without constantly draining the battery on either device.
Google’s Find My Device app works great for this! Download it on your iPhone and sign in with the same Google account that’s on your Samsung. You can ring your Samsung, see its location on a map, and even lock it remotely.
I’ve been using this setup since I got my wife a Samsung for work while keeping my iPhone. The battery impact is minimal, and it’s saved us countless times when her phone gets lost in the couch cushions.
