Find My iPhone. If you lose your iPhone, help is only a tap away
You take your iPhone everywhere. Which means you might leave it anywhere. Whether it’s at the office in a conference room or under a pillow on your couch, chances are it won’t be lost for long.
Locate your iPhone on a map
People misplace things all the time. Fortunately, if you lose your iPhone, Find My iPhone can help. Go to Settings, tap iCloud, and enable Find My iPhone.* Then if you misplace your iPhone, you can sign in to icloud.com from any computer web browser or use the Find My iPhone app on another iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to display its approximate location on a map. It’s easy to activate this feature on your iPhone. All it takes is a few easy steps.
Display a message or play a sound to help you find it
Say you’ve just used Find My iPhone, and it turns out you left your iPhone at the doctor’s office. You can write a message and display it on your screen. Something like, “Oops, left my iPhone behind. Please call me at 408-555-0198.” Your message appears, even if the screen is locked. And if the map shows that your iPhone is nearby — perhaps in your office under a pile of papers — yet you still can’t find it, you can tell Find My iPhone to play a sound that overrides the volume or silent setting.
Find My iPhone app
Because the unexpected happens in the most unexpected places, the Find My iPhone app can help you locate your missing iPhone even when you don’t have access to a computer. It’s free on the App Store and available to anyone. So if you misplace your device, download the Find My iPhone app on a friend’s iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and sign in to find your iPhone.
