The Tile app (you can use without buying anything) can turn on the ringer and set full volume. My partner and I use it to find each other’s phones. There are probably other apps that do that, too.
Tut tut, achually… Android doesn’t have it built in, it’s bundled with the Google package. Witch is included in virtually all android phones so I know what you mean.
I use /e/os, so to me the Google package is a third party system and I use open source applications to access parts of the Google infrastructure without having to have a Google account.
The downside is that not all Google features are available. Like find my phone functions when there’s no associated account. But I can text my phone with a secret codeword and it’ll send back it’s GPS coordinates so that’s something I suppose.

Both iOS and android have this built in. There’s no need for a 3rd party app to do it.
