When you have multiple Google accounts set up on your Android phone or tablet, your Smart Finder may sometimes be linked to a different account than you expect.
How does pairing work?
Your Smart Finder always pairs with the primary Google account set on your device.
This happens regardless of which account you are logged into in the Google’s Find Hub app.
During pairing, you will see a message appear (for example: “FNR 6ATAG61”). Above that, you’ll see the email address the Smart Finder is being linked to.
How do I check if I have multiple accounts?
Open any Google app (for example, the Play Store) and tap the profile icon in the top right corner.
Do you see an arrow next to your email address? That means multiple accounts are set up.
Your default account is usually the one listed at the top.
How do I choose the right account?
Open the Google’s Find Hub app and tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
Use the arrow next to your email address to view other accounts.
Do you want to make sure your Smart Finder is paired to a specific account? Then you’ll need to set that account as the primary Google account on your phone or tablet:
