Find My Device app by Google is one of those apps that do not get a lot of updates these days. The main reason for this is that it probably doesn’t need much more updates than it already does. However, a new update for the app does add a potentially valuable new feature. This new feature will make it easier for the users report their lost or stolen phone. Now with the new update, users can get the IMEI number for their device. The user doesn’t even have to dig up the original box or paperwork to find it. Users even don’t have to make a point of recording the number anywhere else.
