Sometimes we are pigeonholed at our desk, absorbed by the inches of our screen and the incessant typing. That is when we turn around to get hold of our mobile device and it does not appear. However, this is already foreseen by Microsoft, that is why Both Cortana in its desktop edition, and the version of Cortana for Windows 10 Mobile, will give you a good hand to find it. Obviously we must at least meet the requirement that the mobile device includes Windows 10 Mobile or has fully integrated Cortana, like Android, otherwise we will not be able to ask you for help.
We are going to teach you in these simple steps how you can get Cortana to start emitting loud sound from the mobile device so that we can locate it wherever it is. If we are on our PC, the easiest thing is to go to the Cortana search box and type "Find my phone" or "How to find our lost phone using Cortana". The incessant help of the Microsoft virtual assistant will automatically appear in the first result. It couldn't be that easy huh, it is a fully implemented function that many users are unaware of, but it can save us a few minutes of searching and despair that are invaluable today.
Certainly the utility is not instantaneous, it also depends on the internet connection and other factors, so it may take about a minute for it to start making sound, but it will eventually. Once we have the device ringing, we will click on the notification that reads «lo I have»To stop the noise. Obviously, you can also ask it directly by voice command, it will perform the action in the same way. However, if you are using one of the Windows 10 Previews, the feature is experiencing errors, but in both Build 14328 and future stable ones, it will work correctly.
