Android Wear Smartwatch Can Now Find Your Phone via Voice Command

Google on Thursday started rolling out an update to Android Device Manager that helps  

users find their lost device via an Android Wear device.

The Android Device Manager introduced in 2013 essentially allowed locating, resetting and 

deleting data for Android devices from Web. With the update, Google says that the 'Find my 

phone' support has now been added for the Android Wear devices.

The feature works can either work with voice command "Ok Google. Start. Find my phone" 

or by selecting the 'Find my phone' option from the start menu. If your device is mapped 

with Android Device Manager, it will start ringing at full volume till the time your Android 

Wear device/ smartwatch is in range (Bluetooth range).

Google didn't mention any time-frame for the update, but said that users won't need to do 

anything to enable this new feature; it will roll out to all Android Wear devices over the next 

few weeks.

Last year in August, Google had updated the Android Device Manager app with ability to set 

a call back button on the lock screen of a lost or a stolen smartphone. Earlier the app 

allowed 

users to set a lock screen password and a custom message for lost or stolen phones, and 

with  the update, it also added new option to add an alternative phone number that will 

appear in the form of a bright green call button on the lock screen. While they can set up the feature 

before the device is lost or stolen, the feature can also be set up afterwards, by signing into 

Android Device Manager via the Web, or in guest mode via a friend's Android phone.
