Hi IphoneDonna,

 

Thanks for coming back to us. To confirm, when you activate the "Find my Phone" feature, is it also activated on Siri? Please make sure to add your phone number to your Gmail account as part of the recovery option. Visit this link to know more. 

 

Keep us posted.

Hey  IphoneDonna,

 

Just bumping in to make sure that you saw our responses. I'll be locking this thread if we won't hear back from you again in 24 hrs. Should that happen, feel free to create a new one if you have more questions or have other concerns in the future.

 

Cheers,

Finally found you. Clicking on first link and just found you on the second link you provided. Thought I could respond by email.   Can’t get into Gmail as they say my phone number is not a match. I just say Siri where are you and she replies, so I don’t ask Google home to find my phone anymore.  Frustrating 

I didn’t know how to reply I was going to speaker thread instead of iPhone 13.  Gmail says they will send message to my phone, phone number is different now so can’t get into Gmail to add Google home to contacts.  So I just ask Siri “ Siri where are you?” She says Here I Am!”   I want to use Google home for this find phone feature.  

You said response is in speakers and displays.  I could not find a response there.  Actually it was in IPhone 13 but that wasn’t obvious. I was replying to you by answering that email.  Problem is can’t access Gmail account as my phone number has changed and it says no match, can’t add to contacts

I didn’t know how to reply was emailing you! Ugh. So yes I tried that but I can’t access google account because they have an incorrect phone number on file and so I can’t access my own account.

I can’t access my gmail account because the phone number set up with is incorrect now.  Ugh.  

Yes still need help. @Gmail.com has locked me out due to my incorrect phone number.  

My phone number is different than what my google account has so I can’t get in nor access my google photos

I just ask Siri “where are you”to find phone because Google Home refuses to find my phone because it states my phone isn’t in contacts, but it is in contacts. Ugh

Still need help, can’t get into gmail.  Changed password but have a different phone number now. So it locks me out of my gmail account saying no match

yes google home still refuses to ring my cell phone.

Hey IphoneDonna,

 

My apologies for the late response. Just an added question: what country are you located in? Please note that this feature is only available in the US and Canada for iOS. Also, for your Google Home device to find your phone, you have to make sure that you link the same email address and your phone number should be added on your Gmail account.

 

If you are having issues retrieving your Gmail account password, please refer to this link for the steps. You can also visit the Gmail community page here for more help.

 

Cheers,

Muddi

Hey IphoneDonna,

 

To make sure, are you able to add your phone number to your Google Account?

If you can't access your Google Account, try creating a new one and make sure you added your active number to it. Once done, link it to your Google Home and try calling your number again.

 

Let us know if that helps!

 

Thanks,

Alex
