`
`Google Releases Its Find My iPhone-Style Android
`Device Manager App In The Play Store
`
`Darrell Etherington

`
`Google launched Android Device Manager back in August, but it curiously made the tool web-only, eschewing a native
`Android app and causing a lot of confusion in doing so. The Android Device Manager is now in the Play Store, and does
`most of the things that Apple’s Find My iPhone service does, but for Android gadgets instead of iOS-powered devices.
`
`The new app, like the web interface, lets you locate your Android device on a map, see when it was last located and when it
`was last used, as well as ring, lock and wipe the device. Plenty of people I spoke to about the service early on were excited
`it was finally bringing some device security features to Google’s mobile OS, but also confused when they searched the Play
`Store only to find that no actual app for the service existed.
`
`Of course, in theory having it operate on the web makes more sense: if you’ve lost your phone, an Android app running on it
`won’t do much good in terms of helping you track it down. It makes more sense to have an Android Device Manager on the
`web, where it was born, but people were bound to look for it on the Android mobile app store, especially given the example
`provided by Apple’s competing service. Having an app also means that people who have multiple Android devices, including
`tablets, will have faster access to the security features contained therein.
