That’s actually the simple way to explain how does device manager work really is. Furthermore, after you send the command, Google will detect the devices that you have and run that function. The function, like mentioned before, is divided into 4 different commands. There is tracking, like its name it will give you the location of your device through GPS. There is also ring, like its name it will make your device. And then, lock and erase, it will lock your Android devices and erase all data in that device, so other people won’t be able to use it.
However, the most important thing that you have to do to make ADM work is signing it up. Actually, every time you use and access Google Play Store, your device will be detected and registered.
