You can't directly format your phone from your Google account. Instead, you'll need to use the Find My Device feature to remotely wipe your phone, effectively erasing all data and restoring it to factory settings.
Here's how to use Find My Device:
- Access Find My Device: Go to https://myaccount.google.com/device-activity or use the Find My Device app on another Android phone or tablet.
- Select your device: Choose the phone you want to format.
- Erase data: Click on "Erase device". This will initiate a factory reset, wiping all data on the device.
Important Notes:
- Back up your data: Before erasing your phone, ensure you've backed up all important data, including contacts, photos, and files.
- Verify your Google account: You might need to verify your Google account password before proceeding with the erase process.
