How To Track Your Redmi 6?
There are two methods of tracking your Redmi 6 which we will be showing here
Method 1: Through Google Account
If you have your Redmi 6 linked to a Google account then you can track your location by accessing Find My Phone from this link: android.com/find Or search on Google “Find My Device“. You can also track your phone by using some other device by downloading this app “Find my device” from Google Play Store. If your Google account is logged in to your smartphone then you can use these options
- Play Sound:Â After clicking on this option the phone will ring for 5 minutes even if your phone is on silent mode
- Secure Device:Â This option will lock your device and sign out of your Google Account. You can also display a message and phone number on your device. Still, locate your device even if it’s locked.
- Erase Device: If you no other option other than erasing your device then choose this option. After choosing this option your device cannot be located, all data from your device will be erased.
