Does anyone know of a good way to have an Android phone ring from another Android phone, without sharing all account access ?

My wife keeps her phone on silent but loses it multiple times a day. We use the computer to make it ring using Find my Device, but it'd be a lot easier if I could just do it from my phone, which I can if I install the app and then add her Google account to the accounts on my phone, but then I get access (and notified of) all her emails, google photos and stuff like that.

Is there an alternative ? Some way to just have both phones agree to sync somehow and then one can make the other ring, regardless of sound settings.



Maybe use MacroDroid to make the phone rings whenever it receives some specific SMS from your phone number.


You could try KDE Connect.

And use Tailscale to create a secure network
