How to find your iPhone with the help of Google Assistant
Though Apple gives you a way to find your iPhone if you don’t remember where you kept it last, locating your device can also be done via Google Assistant. Here is how you can set the whole thing up in your iPhone in case you cannot find it. First of all, you need to have the latest version of the Google Home app installed on your iPhone. The following steps will work only if you have Google Home app on your iPhone.

1.

Open the Google Home app and allow it to find devices on your local network and connect them, and also to use Bluetooth.

2.

To finish with the Google Home setup process, you need to sign in with your Google account and give location access. So, do that.

3.

Now, open Settings in the Home app.

4.

Tap Notifications.

5.

Tap ‘Turn on notifications’ and then choose ‘Allow’.

6.

Choose General notifications. Make sure you enable ‘Critical Alerts’

7.

Now, to locate your phone, you can take the help of Google Assistant on a Google smart speaker or display by asking “Hey Google, find my phone”. It will play a custom sound on your iPhone even if it is set to Silent or DND.
