where is "find my mobile""

[gossmarian]

I was reading about a feature called Find my Mobile in the event you lose your phone. I have a galaxy s5 and this feature is not listed in my security settings. I want this phone to do what an iphone can do with the Find my iphone". Any ideas?

Thank you for the information, but I have read this exact page. When I go under my security settings, there is no option for the find my mobile feature. Apparently not all galaxies have this feature. I have a Samsung Account and would love to know if I could find my device if it is ever lost or stolen. Maybe there is a good app for this?

I just clicked on your second link and discovered that I can find my phone using Google's Android device manager. This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much for the links!
