Thank you. I haven't tried Google's 'Find my Phone' yet. Will try it today/tomorrow.Melbourne Guy said:Unless you've disabled it, the default Google 'Find my Phone' should work for this, @WWGD. I've used it, it's fine, literally doing what it says on the box, though I haven't scrubbed a phone with it, only located one.
There is an overview of how it works on the LG site:

The app uses a combination of GPS, Wi-Fi, and cellular data to pinpoint the location of the lost phone. It also has the ability to remotely turn on location services if they are turned off.
Yes, the app can be used to track a stolen phone as long as the phone is turned on and connected to the internet. The app also has the ability to take a photo from the front camera to help identify the thief.
The app is designed to use minimal battery power while running in the background. However, if the phone's battery is already low, it may drain faster while using the app. It is recommended to have the phone fully charged before using the tracking feature.
If the phone is turned off or the battery dies, the app will not be able to track its location. However, the app will save the phone's last known location before it was turned off or the battery died, which can still be used to narrow down the search area.
Yes, the app has a feature that allows users to remotely lock or wipe their lost phone. This can help protect personal information from falling into the wrong hands.
