I am sure that most of you have ever left your smartphone in restaurant, café because you place it on the table after answering the phone rather than kept them back into your pocket. Unlike iPhone which allows you to find your iPhone/iPad with "Find My iPhone" function, Android phone doesn't have a similar build-in find my phone function. But fortunately, there's a powerful software – AirDroid, which can help you find your Android phone when you can't find it anywhere.
Below is the step on how to find your Android with AirDroid. What you need to do first is to download AirDroid on Android, and open AirDroid Web on your PC browser. After that, let's start the tutorial.
Step 1. Enable "Find Phone" on Android
First of all, you have to turn on the "Find Phone" function so that the system can locate and find where your Android phone is. Sign in AirDroid on Android and tap on the first icon on the third line "Find Phone" – "TURN ON NOW" – "ACTIVATE" as the below windows shows.
