Is it possible to turn on location for android device remotely?

Silly me. I don't know how this is even possible, but I accidentally misplaced my phone last night in my home. I put my phone on silent for a virtual zoom meeting and later realized I couldn't find it. I haven't been anywhere so I know it is in my home somewhere.

Usually, when I misplace it, I go to Google's "Find my device" to ring it.

This time however I must've accidentally turned off location.

Is there any way to turn this on online?

EDIT: FOUND IT!! Thanks, everyone.

I don't know how it ended up under a pile of newspaper.

There should be a way to access your phone remotely and adjust the settings. I think I've done it before.

@U53RN4M3 Yeah, my location was on, I think all the papers blocked the signal. I'm not sure how to set it up to turn on/off the location if in fact I do turn it off accidentally.

@sweetiepoo There has to be a YouTube video for it. There's one for everything. I wish I could remember. I used to be great with tech.

@U53RN4M3 Thank you!
Its feasible, but usually you have to plan for it ahead of time.

@stound Thank you. I just found it. It was under some newspapers. That must've blocked the signal cuz I was literally a foot away. Location was on.
@sweetiepoo cool. good job. you might want to get a 'tile' - they're kinda expensive, but you can use them forwards/backwards to find phones/tablets/keys/whatever you connect a 'tile' to (they're little buetooth connected bricks that last for a few years on a battery)

@stound thank you!

News papers won’t block your cell signal but they will stop you from seeing your phone if they are covering it.
That reminds me... I need to turn my access code back on...
