It’s the worst when a friend loses their phone. But now you can help your fellow Android-using brethren with the new version of Android Device Manager.
Any Android user can log in as a guest to locate, lock, or remotely wipe their device. You can find it if switched on and signed into the owner’s Google Account. You’ll have to sign out to let the owner regain access to their phone or tablet. The name isn’t stored; your friend won’t worry about you having access.
                                                                                             
The update is out to all Android. You grab it in the Play Store.

Important: If you find your phone after erasing it, you’ll need your Google Account password to use it again. You can sign in with a Google Account previously added and sync to the phone as an account or user. But not as a guest. After the factory reset process, users must be able to enter accurate information to reactivate the device.
