`9/8/25, 12:23 PM Google Releases Its Find My iPhone-Style Android Device Manager App In The Play Store | TechCrunch
`
`Google launched Android Device Manager back in August, but it curiously
`made the tool web-only, eschewing a native Android app and causing a lot
`of confusion in doing so. The Android Device Manager is now in the Play
`Store, and does most of the things that Apple’s Find My iPhone service
`does, but for Android gadgets instead of iOS-powered devices.
`
`The new app, like the web interface, lets you locate your Android device on
`a map, see when it was last located and when it was last used, as well as
`ring, lock and wipe the device. Plenty of people | spoke to about the
`service early on were excited it was finally bringing some device security
`features to Google’s mobile OS, but also confused when they searched
`the Play Store only to find that no actual app for the service existed.

`Of course, in theory having it operate on the web makes more sense: if
`you’ve lost your phone, an Android app running on it won’t do much good
`in terms of helping you track it down. [t makes more sense to have an
`Android Device Manager on the web, where it was born, but people were
`bound to look for it on the Android mobile app store, especially given the
`example provided by Apple’s competing service. Having an app also
`means that people who have multiple Android devices, including tablets,
`will have faster access to the security features contained therein.
