Once removed from your device list, it can no longer be tracked using Find My.

  • Did you wipe the device using Find My before you removed it?
  • Was it reported as Lost in Find My?
  • Is the time of login reported on Google under Manage Devices?


Google will only show the IP address of the logged in devices and not the precise location. The only thing you can do is reset your Google passwords, including Gmail, and enable two-factor authentication if not done already.
