If you live in a house with divided geek loyalties, your competing devices are about to get a little more collaborative. Google Assistant-enabled smart speakers can now help you find your missing iPhone; all you have to do is say “Hey Google, find my phone” to send a critical-level alert to your misplaced iPhone, forcing it to ring for 25 seconds or until the notification is dismissed. Critical alerts bypass a device’s notification settings, so your iPhone will ring even if it’s on silent or in Do Not Disturb mode.
