In case you have a Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO phone you can access the option to locate your phone thanks to MIUI. You must enable it for the first time to be able to use it later. To do this, the first thing is that you log in to your phone. If you do not have an account, create it from the Mi Account section in the settings. It is a fairly simple and quick process, but it is worth it because it will increase the security of your phone. Once you have done this, just follow these steps.

Fourth step
Finally, click on Find Device and enable the option.
You should note that it is possible to activate an option to report the location automatically when the battery is low, as well as just before the phone is turned off. These are complementary options that it is advisable to activate to be forewarned if the phone is lost and the battery is low. This way you can get the last location of your phone before the battery runs out.
To disable the option on your phone, you will have to enter the password of your Mi account, so no one can disable this option on your phone or tablet unless they have your password.
Track your Xiaomi phone from your Mi account
