‘my Xperia’ discontinued: Sony Mobile shutters another service

Sony Mobile launched its ‘my Xperia’ location tracking service for its phones back in 2013, but since then a lot has changed. The service, which is similar to Google’s ‘Find My Device’ allowed you to remotely lock and/or wipe your Xperia device. Given the similarities with Google’s service, it’s perhaps not a surprise to learn that Sony has closed it down. If you try to access myXperia now, you are automatically redirected to Google’s Find My Device site.

The decision was confirm over at the Sony Mobile Talk Forums, with the following statement: “As of January 17, 2018, the my Xperia web service has also been discontinued and you will now be redirected to the Find My Device web service instead.” Did any of you use the service? Will it be mourned? Let us know in the comments below.
