  • Turned on
  • Signed in to a Google Account
  • Connected to mobile data or Wi-Fi

    • Play sound: Rings your phone at full volume for 5 minutes, even if it’s set to silent or vibrate.
    • Secure device: Locks your phone with your PIN, pattern, or password. If you don’t have a lock, you can set one. To help someone return your phone to you, you can add a message or phone number to the lock screen.
    • Erase device: Permanently deletes all data on your phone (but might not delete SD cards). After you erase, Find My Device won’t work on the phone.

Through a third-party app

This option will only work by previously installing an APP through the application store, that is, you must install it before losing the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE. There are many applications of this type but all really do the same function as Google’s Find my Device, but in case you do not have a Google account or do not want to use their services there are applications like Safe365 or SeekDroid.

Samsungs’ Find My Mobile

Indeed, Google already offers a similar app for all Android devices, and there’s nothing wrong with it, but Samsung’s service for its own devices gives you more functionality.

Losing your Galaxy S20 FE phone could be a stressful and one of the most inconvenient experience. It involves your data and precious memories, With the methods being discussed you can easily find and locate your Samsung Galaxy S20 FE

Samsung recognizes this need and if a user prior to losing the phone had set-up the Samsung account on the device, there is a chance for the phone to be found either by being able to ring the phone and send a message on it or track the location using the location service of the device.

Enable the settings

To enable that your phone can be tracked, you have to set-up this service in your smart phone. Please go to:

[Settings -> Lock Screen and Security -> Scroll down and look for “Find My Mobile” option and tap on it.]

What you can do

If it’s powered on, you will see its current location and battery percentage. A popup will also provide a series of actions to take on the lost device:

  • Ring
  • Lock
  • Erase data
  • Back up
  • Retrieve calls and messages
  • Unlock
  • Extend battery life
  • Set guardian

Most of these are self-explanatory. There are a couple that is worth explaining a bit more. For example, retrieve calls and messages will sync with the phone and show you the last 50 calls and messages, complete with phone numbers.

The Extend battery option will provide the option to help you track it longer. Lastly, the Set Guardian option allows you to designate a friend or family member as someone who can log into Find My Mobile on your behalf to track or control your device.
