Find My iPhone

Find my iPhone is an Apple security feature that can help you locate a missing or stolen iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch by signing into icloud.com or using the Find My iPhone app on another iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch or on a Mac. Find my iPhone is essentially an iPhone tracker that can help locate your missing device even if the battery is dead, as long as you've turned on Send Last Location. With Send Last Location enabled, your device will transmit its location when the battery is about to die so that you have a place to start searching for it. I can't recommend highly enough that you follow the directions in this article to enable Find my iPhone and the Send Last Location feature. There are times, though, when you'll want to know how to disable Find my iPhone, such as if you're giving away or selling your device. If you're wondering how to turn off Find my iPhone, read on, and we'll go through three ways to accomplish the process, step by step. 

The Amazon Echo and Alexa voice assistant has always been a useful tool, but recently, it got a lot more useful. Through integration with TrackR, which I've covered frequently, you can now ask Alexa to find your iPhone. Well, technically, you could always ask, but now you will get a reply!

You might lose your iPhone or iPad, but Find My iPhone pretty much guarantees you’ll always at least know generally where it is, whether you left it at a friend’s house or at the bar (I did this once. Luckily my iPad was still there when I returned.) But what if you misplace your iPhone within your house and just can’t seem to find it anywhere? You can also use Find My iPhone to make your iPhone ping. You can do this from icloud.com or from a family member’s iPhone or iPad, if they are on the same Family Sharing plan as you. Either way, here’s how to use Find My iPhone to find iPhones misplaced in the house.
