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 Do you remember what you did?

@sweetiepoo All I know is I did it through my Google account on a laptop.

@U53RN4M3 Ha. Thanks a bunch. I literally JUST found it. I don't know how it ended up under a pile of newspapers. 🤦‍♀️

@sweetiepoo I would go ahead and set everything up on it in case it happens again.

@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.
