I'm really struggling to keep track of my phone in my house because it's always on silent, making it impossible for me to call it. I need a solution to help locate it when it goes missing. My phone is always connected to the internet, so I'm hoping there's a way to use that to my advantage. Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated!

Have you tried using the Find Device feature from your PC? It can ring your phone even if it's on silent. It's super helpful for situations like this!
If you have a Google Home, you can ask it to find your phone. It’ll turn the phone's volume back on using the location feature, so you'll hear it ring regardless of the silent mode!
I can't use that, but thanks for the suggestion!
I've found Tile to be great for this; you can use it to make your phone ring from your keys, even on silent! You can find the app on the app store, and it works well with Windows, too.
Where can I find that app, and does it work with Windows?
Many smartwatches and fitness bands come with a find my phone option through their app. If you have one, definitely check that out!
If you're using an iPhone 11 or newer, the Find My App can guide you to your phone with pinpoint accuracy, even to within 2 feet! Just make sure the app is set up correctly.
I have a Samsung A25 5G though.
How do I set that up? Does it require any app?
