WASHINGTON, April 16: Google has launched a new service to track down misplaced mobile devices of its users.
According to the engadget.com, the name of this new service is called 'Find My Phone'.

Although, Android Device Manager is already available to help find lost phones and tablets, but just getting to their account's ADM menu often requires a search of its own.


To use this service, users have to simply open a Google omnibox and type "find my phone" after which it displays a map that reveals the phone's current location.
