What is find My?
You can keep track of your Apple devices and supported items like your keys with an air tag attached and share your location with your favorite people with the find my app developed by apple. We’ll show you how to turn on find my, how to locate a device or item and how to share your location.
Process
When you sign in to iCloud on a new device, find my turns on automatically.
To adjust it, Open settings, tap your name, tap find my and tap Find My iPhone.
If finds my is set up on your iPhone, your appeared Apple Watch air pods and Beats headphones will automatically be set up. if you turn on Send the last location, Your device sends its location to Apple if its battery is critically low, so you can see its last known location if the battery dies.
Locate a missing device or item
Open the Find my app on another device signed in with the same Apple ID or a device that belongs to a member of your family sharing group. Or you can sign into icloud.com/find on any mobile device or desktop browser.
To locate a missing item like an air tag attached to your keys, tap items.
Looking for a missing device
Here you’ll see a list of your devices with find my enabled and a map with their last known locations. Select a device then swipe up on the handle to see your options.
To help find a nearby device tap play sound.
Your device plays a chime or you can tap directions to see it on a map and track it down.
If you’d like to receive a notification when you accidentally leave one of your devices behind, you can turn on notify when left behind. If your device is far away or in an unfamiliar location, you can tap Activate under the mark is lost. This remotely locks your device with its passcode and lets you display a message with your contact information on its screen in case someone finds it.
Activate Lost Mode
The device must be connected to the internet to activate Lost Mode. Think your device is lost for good. You can erase it remotely by tapping erase this device. Once you do this, you can still track your device and if you do eventually find it, you’ll have to restore it from a previously saved backup.
Share your location with family and friends
You can also use the Find my app to share your location with family and friends. Tap the People tab. Anyone sharing their location with you will be listed here.
Tap share my location, choose a contact, and tap Send. Then decide how long to share your location. Your friend gets a notification and can choose to share their location back with you. And that’s how to use find mine to keep track of what’s most important to you.
