Stunt technique to find your lost phone .. Even if the "silent"
When your phone is in silent mode, and you lose it at home or anywhere else, it's hard to find, because connecting to it will not indicate where it is.
Many suffer from this problem, especially when there are children at home. The phone disappears and has no effect, and the search takes so long to find it in the kitchen or inside the couch or in the wardrobe or other.
A simple technical solution is to find any lost device running Android or iOS by playing a repetitive sound on the device indicating its location even if it is set to silent mode.

If you're an Apple user for iOS, whether you're on iPhone or iPad, you can access your computer from me.com and sign in with your Apple ID account, the same account you use to download apps from the App Store.
After logging in with your username and password, the Find My iPhone button appears at the bottom of the button. When you press the button, the phone searches for the phone and identifies it on the map as a green dot.
Press the green dot, and select the Play Sound button. You will then hear a repeated tinkle sound from the lost phone.
Android
For Android users, whether from Samsung or Huawei or others, it is not much different. Just log in to Google's https://www.google.com/android/find site.
You must then sign in with the Gmail account used on the device itself, that's the account you use to download apps from the Google Play store.
When you log in, the device is searched, the location is accurately located on the map, and the Play Sound option is displayed to the left of the location page, which plays a sound indicating the device's location when pressed.
Note: This option of course requires that the device be connected to the Internet, either over Wi-Fi networks or through data packets. If the device is not connected to the internet or stopped working for some reason, you have to search manually and have good luck finding it.
