Hi Alexandru_BD
My wife misplaced her phone a few days ago (Samsung Galaxy android) and it was a real scare. We hadn't previously thought about what to do in such a situation and were at a bit of a loss.
Is there a similar article for android devices? What steps to take to try to find a phone? What steps to take if you've confirmed a phone has been stolen and not misplaced?
(Ps. we found Michelle's phone but it had fallen into water - consequently we bought a new phone. Luckily the old sim card once dried out worked fine in the new device)

Since Gjoksi and Flexx already provided a response here, I'll just drop by to say that I'm glad to hear the device was found and the sim card could be further used. I think we all know that losing a smartphone can evoke a range of emotions and reactions due to its significant role in our daily lives.
I think the best practices to reduce the risk of losing a smartphone and mitigate the impact if it does happen, are to backup your data regularly to cloud services and enable tracking services, along with a strong PIN or biometric lock (fingerprint or facial recognition) to protect your phone from unauthorized access.
Accidents can happen and when they do, being prepared will make all the difference.
