Have your phone number tied to your Google Account. Before you lose your phone (again) you&#39;ll need to set up your device to be connected to your Google Home or Google Home Mini.

This varies slightly between Android devices and Apple, but it&#39;s possible to use the &#34;Find My Phone&#34; function with either device. If more than one person uses your Google Home or Google Home Mini speaker then you&#39;ll need to make sure you&#39;ve enabled Voice Match.

Test it out by saying, &#34;Hey Google, find my phone,&#34; to your nearest Google Home or Google Home Mini speaker. Your speaker will confirm by asking you if it should call the number ending in the last four digits of the number tied to your Google account.

Apple devices can connect with Google Home and Google Home Mini by downloading the Google Assistant app. Siri is great, but if you own a Google Home device, this connection can be useful. Make sure that your phone number is tied to your Google account.
