Google has integrated its Android Device Manager with Android Wear, to let smart watches or bands help locate the missing Android mobile device.
"Today we’re making Android Device Manager even more useful by introducing support for Android Wear to help you find your lost device. Misplaced your Android phone? No problem! Android Wear connects your phone to your wrist, and together with Android Device Manager, you can make sure it stays that way," Android software engineer Andrew Flynn said in a blog post.
He noted that since Android Device Manager was launched in 2013, it had helped reunite almost 30 million users with their phones and tablets.
With the new Android Wear support, a user can just say, "Ok, Google. Start. Find my phone," or select "Find my phone" in the Start menu.
"Your phone will ring at full volume, and you’ll be that much closer to, well, finding your phone," Flynn said.
He said the new feature will be rolling out to all Android Wear devices over the next few weeks.
