If you need to locate a Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ lost or stolen to find it or recover it you can do it in several ways:
The first option requires that you have linked your Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ with a Google account, which is the usual and essential requirement on a device with the Android operating system.
If you are not sure if your Galaxy Tab A9+ is linked, follow the steps to check it.

Estimated time: 5 minutes.
1- First step:
To find or locate a lost or stolen Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ and know its approximate location, you first need to have access to a computer, tablet or smartphone with an internet connection.
Open the following page https://www.google.com/android/find.
If you have another Android device linked to the same account, you can do it through an application called “Google Find my device” from Google LLC. We recommend using the official Google application and not any other application available on Google Play.
2- Second step:
If you haven't logged into your Google account, when accessing https://www.google.com/android/find you'll be prompted to enter your email and password. Make sure to use the email linked to your Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+.
3- Third step:
Once you're logged in, you'll see several options in the menu on the left, such as playing a sound, locking the device and erasing all data from your Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+.
You can also check the battery level and whether it's connected to a Wi-Fi or GSM/3G/4G/5G network. If your Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ isn't the first device listed, you can switch between your registered Android devices at the top by clicking on each one.
4- Fourth step:
If you think your Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ is nearby, whether in another room, outside, or where you lost it, it's best to press the option to play a sound.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ will make a sound at maximum volume even if it is muted until “stop” is pressed on the screen for 5 minutes.
5- Fifth step:
If you don't hear your Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ ringing, it's either too far away, or you're unsure where it was lost or if it was stolen. In that case, the next step is to try to find its approximate location.
Using the map, you can see where your Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ is located. If it doesn't appear on the map, it's likely because GPS is turned off or it doesn't have a network connection to triangulate its location.
6- Sixth step:
If you can't locate your Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ on the first try, you can try again later in case someone finds it and it connects to a known Wi-Fi network or a GSM, 4G, or 5G network.
If you still can't locate it, you can lock the device and display a message or phone number on the screen so the person who finds it can contact you. Click on 'SECURE DEVICE' to lock the Galaxy Tab A9+ and sign out of your Google account.
7- Seventh step:
If you can't locate your Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ after several days and consider it lost, you can permanently delete all its content, including photos, emails, apps, social media accounts, credit cards, and more.
You must bear in mind that once all the content is deleted you will not be able to go back or locate it, this is a step to prevent whoever finds or has your Galaxy Tab A9+ from accessing your personal information.
To carry out this complete deletion, click on “ERASE DEVICE”, it may ask us to re-enter your Google account to avoid deleting everything by mistake and make sure that no one else can delete the content of your Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+.
This option will only work by previously installing an APP through the application store, that is, you must install it before losing the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+.
There are many applications of this type but, all really do the same function as Google's Find my Device.
But in case you do not have a Google account or do not want to use their services there are applications like Safe365 or SeekDroid that you can find in the application store you use, be it the Play Store, Galaxy Store, AppGallery, Uptodown, APKpure or Aptoide.
To download an application for tracking or locating mobile devices in your Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+, go to the application store you use, search for "Find my phone", "Find my mobile" or "Find my device" and download the application that has the highest number of positive reviews and a large number of downloads, these applications may include advertising or a paid service in order to work.
Samsung has an alternative service to recover your Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ called Find my Mobile, for this you must have a registered and active Samsung account.
These are the steps:
- Access to https://smartthingsfind.samsung.com/login
- Sign in with your Samsung account
- Click on “Locate my mobile”, “Locate my cell phone” or “Locate my device”
The functions of this service are the same as those of the Google service but some say it works better.
You can locate your Samsung, display a message on the screen, activate the sound at maximum volume even if it is silent or vibrate mode, block it or erase all your information.
Unlike Google's service, Samsung will allow you to access a list of calls made from your Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ with which you can see if the person who has your Galaxy Tab A9+ has made a call and try to locate the device in that way.
You can also make a call diversion which is very useful not to miss any calls and that the person with the Galaxy Tab A9+ can not answer the calls.
If you can not recover your Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+, we recommend you file a report, for this you will need the purchase invoice.
Once the complaint is filed, you can contact your telecommunications company and block the device through IMEI so that it can not be used, this IMEI will be added to a blacklist of devices and if activated in any of the countries that respect this list Black will be communicated to the authorities and automatically blocked so that it can not be used.
