Description from the creator

Watch this video to learn how to set up and use the Find My iPhone tracking system to locate your lost or stolen Apple devices. We'll walk you through the steps to set up the feature on your device, and show you how to track your lost device through the Find My iPhone app, as well as through your computer's web browser.

To set up Find My iPhone:
Open your settings. Tap your name. Tap iCloud. Scroll down and select Find My iPhone. Tap the switch to enable Find My iPhone. Tap the switch labelled “Send Last Location” if you want your device’s location to be automatically sent to Apple when the device’s battery level is low.

To track your device with the Find My iPhone app:
Tap Find iPhone on your iOS home screen. Sign in to your Apple ID. Tap the name of the device you want to find. Tap the blue dot representing your device on the map. At the bottom of your screen, you’ll see options to play a sound to help you find your device, put your device in lost mode to prevent others from using it or accessing data stored on it, or erase all the data on the device. Tap the car icon to get directions to the device’s location.


To track your device through your computer's web browser:
Go to iCloud.com/find. Sign in to your Apple ID. Click on a dot on the map to see a device’s name. Then click the i icon on the right. You’ll see the same options as are available on the Find My iPhone app – play a sound, lost mode, and erase device.
