Google finally releases the Android Device Manager App

Smartphones have become a part of our daily lives, and there’s no worse feeling than reaching into your pocket only to find your smartphone is MIA. There are many ways to keep track of your beloved device, and today Google is lending a hand by finally releasing the Android Device Manager app.

If you think the Android Device Manager sounds familiar it’s because Google actually fired up the service in August sans an official Android app. The web-based service let you ring your device to see if you could find it, and if you couldn’t you could wipe it remotely. Needless to say, it’s a handy service to have… especially these days as a lot of folks keep information/pics on their phones they would rather stay private. The Android Device Manager app essentially lets you do all the things the web version allowed including ringing, tracking, and locking down your device. You can remotely track and wipe any device on your account as well.

While the web version of Android Device Manager works like a charm, people with multiple devices have been itching to have an official Android Device Manager app. It’s simple to use and it’s an invaluable tool you can pick up on Google Play for free.
