To activate it, simply open a web browser, go to the Find My Device dashboard, and log in with your Google account. If you have multiple devices, after logging in, choose the one you wish to find, and Find My Device will display its most recent location, the time it was last seen, if it’s connected to the internet, and its battery life.

It’s reasonably accurate, especially if you reside in a city; in places with poor GPS visibility, it can be inaccurate by up to 20 meters. Additionally, GPS can be unreliable inside structures.
