Lost Phone

Hi, I lost my phone in Porthcawl on Saturday night. Possibly in THE PICTON pub. I had taken so many photos at a wedding that day the battery ran out. Is there any way I can track it? If so how. Its not the phone I care about, it's the photos and memories that are on there.

If the battery has run out, your options for finding the phone are very limited - beyond physically searching where you last had it.

Google Find my mobile relies on the phone being switched on and having location-based-services enabled.

Were the photos & videos being backed up to any cloud-based services? If they were - then login to that account and they may be there.

@Thomas-tracy if the battery is flat then unlikely. Have you asked the pub?

You may want to follow the steps in the help article.

Not with.a flat battery, best you can do is do some random checks with Find my Device if its an Android to give the last known location, you never know someone may put it on Charge and switch it On.
