Now, we will move on to the guide on how to track lost HTC 10. The service that I am going to use is Android device manager. It allows users to perform several phone features using a PC or smartphone remotely.

You can perform the following functions on your phone remotely.
- Locate your phone and pinpoint its location on Google Maps.
