I hope you are all aware of Google’s Device Manager Feature. You can access your device manager using this link.

I have been a very frequent quora user for the past 4 years but this is the first time I’ve seen it being down. Not that I am complaining. Quora is indeed the best Q&A platform but this is a rare sight indeed.
