Locking your phone with Google Find Your Phone
If you are certain that you have lost your phone or someone else has got the hold of it, you can choose to lock it. The lock feature sets a passcode on the screen and enables you to write down a note that is displayed on the screen.You can also enter your contact information which the finder can use to call you. The message on the screen by default is “This phone is lost. Please help give it back”Note: Although Apple allows you to use the Google Find Your Phone feature to locate, ring and display a private message on your device, it does not give you the permission to lock it. You need to access iCloud and use Find My iPhone service to lock and erase your iPhone if required.Erasing your Android phone with Google Find Your Phone
