Why trust Greenbot
On the first anniversary of My Account, Google has added three new features that makes it easier to find your lost phone and quickly access the service from your phone or PC.
Firstly, to help you find your phone easily, Google is introducing a new ‘Find your Phone’ option in My Account. The feature will allow one to easily track, lock or wipe the data of their lost or stolen iOS or Android devices. The company is also working on automatically bringing the feature up when you search Google for “I lost my phone.”
Secondly, the company is making it easier to access the My Account page from your mobile. Right now, accessing the account page requires one to visit the My Account URL that not many people know about and can be particularly difficult to remember for many. So, Google has added support for “Ok Google, show me my Google account” voice command to the latest version of its Google app for Android to quickly take you to your My Account page.
Lastly, you will also be able to quickly access My Account from your PC by simply searching Google for your own same. Provided you are signed in, you will see a shortcut to quickly go to your My Account page.
Do you know about Google’s My Account page? Or this is the first time you are hearing about it?
