When you set up a new device, you can decide whether to turn on or turn off the Find my device setting.

You can't use it with a work or school account, and it doesn't work for iOS devices, Android devices, or Xbox One consoles. Here's what to do if your Xbox gets stolen. It needs to be turned on before you can use it. This setting works for any Windows device, such as a PC, laptop, Surface, or Surface Pen. This feature works when location is turned on for your device, even if other users on the device have turned off location settings for their apps. Any time you attempt to locate the device, users using the device will see a notification in the notification area. To use this feature, sign in to your device with a Microsoft account and make sure you're an administrator on it. Although I still think that Assistant should have the option by default for those that might not know how to set up a routine, this works perfectly.Find My Device is a feature that can help you locate your Windows 10 device if it's lost or stolen. When I say "Where are you at" I have the phone go to 100% volume and then play a song.

I've decided to use a routine in Assistant to handle my requests. Thanks for the tip, but I have no interest in purchasing one of those devices.Įdit 2: Thanks for all of the helpful responses. I feel like it's the most obvious thing missing from the assistant.Įdit: There are multiple responses saying that Google Home does this. What gives? Why haven't they reintroduced this feature to their phones. Instead I have to say "Okay Google" and hope that it makes the quick little prompt sound loud enough for me to spot it. This was perfect for people like me that lose their phone in plain sight on a semi-regular basis. When Google owned Motorola they added functionality into the Moto X that allowed you to say "Okay Google, where's my phone" and if your phone is close enough, Google Now would respond with a loud alarm.
