I saw yestarday in a garmin vivofit 4 band (it has less apps and less resources than the charge 4) that it has the "find my phone" function. It's very simple it just send an alert to the phone for it to start ringing in case of loss

Most other devices have some sort of Find My Phone feature, which rings the smartphone for easier finding when misplaced. My two previous wrist-bands had this feature and one of them was from 2014, so it's certainly not hard to implement. Yet, extremely useful! It saved me from actually losing my smartphone a couple times in public places.

Is this going to be available soon? It appears there is a Find my Phone function for other FB devices but not Charge 4. I think your users would like a planned date that this function will be available. I otherwise like my Charge 4, but couldn't recommend this device to anyone without that pretty key function, and wouldn't buy another without it.
I would agree with this 100%. I've had a Garmin for years that had this feature and just assumed that it would be available on every smartwatch/tracker. It is really handy to have the ability to just push a notifcation to your phone and have it beep so you're not just searching in the dark.

I just got the Garmin vivoactive 4s and I do not like it. It's not user friendly, its big and clunky and has so many features I will never use. I just do not like it. I had Fitbit trackers for years but what I really wanted was a find my phone feature and that is why I went to the Garmin. I would really like to go back to the fitbit and was considering the charge 4 because it is smaller than these huge watch things. BUT now that I see it doesn't have the find my phone feature I am bummed. Please add find my phone!
I returned my vivoactice 4 s and got the charge 4. The garmib was rubbish at counting floors climbed..... as in not counting them at all. Saying I was sleeping when I wasn't and my body battery was constantly stuck on 5.

I've moved your suggestion here, since this idea had already been posted in the Community and it's Not currently planned, this helps to keep the forums more organized.
Thank you again for your participation in the Community.
There is currently a "Find my phone" app for the "smartwatch" lines, but nothing for the "Tracker" line. This should be a simple thing to add, since the app on the phone is already designed to get messages like this and react. Even competitors have this functionality in their cheapest low-end devices these days.
