Android Device Manager now lets you find your lost phone from your wrist

Find your phone with Android WearGoogle has announced an update to Android Device Manager to include support for Android Wear smartwatches. Using your Android Wear smartwatch, you will be able to quickly and easily locate your lost or stolen device.

To locate your lost phone from your wrist, you can select the “Find my phone” option in the Start menu or alternatively you can say “OK, Google. Start. Find my phone.” Your device will then start ringing at full volume and, if it is within hearing distance, you’ll be able to find your phone.

Since launching Android Device Manager in August 2013, Google has managed to reunite almost 30 million users with their lost or stolen devices. Using Android Device Manager, users are able to track the location of their devices on a map, make them ring, lock or securely erase the data on their Android device.

Available for devices running Android 2.2 Froyo and above, you can download Android Device Manager from Google Play or access it on Google.com.

It won’t be necessary for users to download an update for their smartwatches. The feature is not available on all Android Wear devices yet but will be rolling out over the next few weeks, according to the official Android blog.
