Lost your phone? Now you can find it using Google

What CAN’T Google do, eh?

IF THERE IS something Google can’t do, we don’t want to know about it.

Excellent news from the search engine today means that all you lucky Android users will be able to locate your phone simply by signing in and googling ‘find my phone’.
