How does it work?
Log-in to the same Google account on your desktop computer’s browser that you use on your Android smartphone, but before that make sure you must have the latest version of the Google app installed on your smartphone. Touch Update if not updated.
Now type "Find my phone" into Google's search engine, and that’s it.

However, what if your phone is not visible to you?
Google also offers you a Ring button on the map in order to pinpoint your phone.
You just need to click on Ring icon and the search engine giant will ring your smartphone at full volume for up to five minutes. Moreover, once you hand on it, simply press the power button to turn off the ringing.

Wow, this is so cool. I use an Android phone. I'm gonna try this for sure!
@Janice Lim try it :p i have a kid , I make trololol with the ring option :v on his phone.
WOW. I'm really starting to believe that Google is out for world domination. Lol. I have to try this, just in case I need to do some Google magic in the future. This is very helpful.
I think the most useful feature is the Ring feature! It's an easy way to quickly identify where your phone is if it's nearby.
Really? I will have to try this google feature! Cool!
never though that there is a good way to find a lost android phone! awesome!!
This is a nice security feature for android phones. It would surely help finding missing phones.
Thanks for the post, I'm sure it's very useful to those holding android phones :)
I dont own an Android phone but this will be helpful to some of my friends who owns one, thanks for sharing!
So this will only locate if you're phone is connected to the internet right?
Wow... This is awesome and really helpful
@theresa Yes same with iPhone Find my Phone
I hope someday it will easier to find cellphones or tablets in case it is snatched. I believe it was televised on the news that a picture is sent in google as a back up and that lead to the snatcher, do you know this too?
Auto Sync to Google :) like photos and it will be post on your Google picasa web album
This is a cool feature, it's my first time to learn about it.
