Locate My Device is an application miming Google's Find My Device – through SMS. It can help you to locate a lost smartphone.

How it works? Simply send an SMS to the device you want to locate in order to retrieve information about it. The SMS must consist of the configured activation command, a password and an instruction – e.g. "locate" if you want the coordinates, "battery" for some battery details, "ring" to make it ring – or "lock" to lock it down.

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
