Android Device Manager for Android Wear

Android Device Manager has, according to Google, helped almost 30 million users find their lost phones since its debut, and now the search giant is expanding its capabilities a bit.

Now, thanks to support for Android Wear, Android Device Manager has yet another way for someone to find their lost phone, now right on their wrist. By saying the simple command, “OK, Google. Start. Find my phone,” or by selecting the “Find my phone” option in the Start menu, the Android Wear device can prompt your smartphone to start ringing on its loudest ringer setting.

There’s no extra steps that Android Wear owners have to do, as the new feature is rolling out to all Android Wear devices over the next few weeks, so keep an eye out for it.
