One of the greatest fears of users is losing their mobile, something that can create many fears. However, Xiaomi is aware of this and that is why it offers us the possibility to search for the lost Mi, Redmi and Poco smartphones with a few quick and easy steps. We should not fear for our mobile if we have previously done everything that we are going to show you.
From MIUI 9, Xiaomi offers us a location system that has been improved by leaps and bounds, thus allowing us to enjoy greater security with our mobile. But not only will we be able to find the mobile, but we will also be able to protect it in case it is lost and we do not want anyone to access our data.
Activate the find Xiaomi device option
Before that unwanted moment arrives in which we lose our mobile, we have to take a few steps on the mobile. It should be the first thing we do once we launch a new Xiaomi brand mobile, although if you still have it in hand, you have time to do it:
- First we enter the Settings.
- Touched on the Mi Account.
- We identify ourselves with an existing one or create a new one if we don’t have it yet.
- Then we go to the special functions and choose “Find device”.
- We accept the terms, confirm the password and activate the locator.
How to find a lost Xiaomi mobile
Once that unwanted moment arrives when we do not know where the mobile is , we only have to use a computer, tablet or another mobile to access Xiaomi Cloud from the browser. On this website you must log in with the same account that we use on the mobile and follow the steps that we show you.
Once the session is started, a series of potions will appear. As you can see in the images, one of them is to find a device. As its name suggests, it will not be useful to know the geographical position of the mobile in a matter of seconds. Depending on the mobile internet connection it may take more or less to appear.
Options to find our Xiaomi mobile
Once the mobile is located, we will have access to a series of information. Among the data that will appear is the model of the mobile, the last time it was located and also the battery percentage, which is key so that it does not turn off before we find it. In addition, at the bottom we see the following options:
- Sound: it emits a loud sound so that we can find it more easily. This method is recommended to activate when we are in the same place as the mobile or someone else could find it before.
- Lost mode: the option that we must activate as soon as we lose the Xiaomi mobile . With this we prevent anyone from being able to access it, only we with the Xiaomi account will be able to unlock it and thus we will have all our data safe.
- Delete data: in case the mobile does not appear, we will have to delete all the data from the phone, preventing in any way someone from being able to get hold of our files.
