Two official tools can be used to locate lost Samsung S20 or S20 Ultra remotely. One is from Samsung directly, and the other is for Android devices from Google. We will cover both methods.
How to Locate Lost S20 via Samsung Find my Mobile:
The first method involves the Samsung account. We are going to use Samsung Find my Mobile. It’s a tool that can be used to perform multiple remote actions on Galaxy phones if you have lost access to the phone. It includes various actions. For example, you can remotely access the call history of your phone. You can wipe all the data present on your phone. You can make your phone ring at the highest volume. The service also allows you to see the location of your phone on Google maps so you can locate it.
So the first thing that you need is a Samsung account. Suppose you have been using Samsung’s Cloud on your phone. It means you already have a Samsung account. You also need to have the “Find my mobile” option enabled in your phone settings to use this feature. By default, this feature is turned on.
- First of all, log in to Samsung and find my mobile using your Email. (If you don’t remember the password or user ID of your Samsung account, you can recover it on finding my mobile website)
- Once logged in, you will see all the features and options that can be performed on your Galaxy S20 remotely. Along with that, you will see your phone’s location on the screen in google maps. As you can see in the screenshot below.
Moreover, if the method above didn’t help you to locate lost Galaxy S20 because you didn’t have access to your Samsung account or your Find my mobile option was disabled on your phone when you lost it, or it was stolen. Then, you can use the method below. Hopefully, it’s going to help you.
