iPhone locate - so you find your smartphone again

An iPhone is one of the rather more expensive smartphone models. It is all the more annoying if you lose or misplace the device. Apple has built in a feature for this case, which allows you to locate the iPhone. To do this, your iPhone must be paired with iCloud and the corresponding setting must be activated.

How to locate the iPhone?

To locate the iPhone, you need another device from Apple. Possible is an iPad or a Mac or you use the browser.

1. The easiest way to locate the iPhone is via the browser. To do this, go to the find page of Apple.
2. Log in with your Apple ID, so that all your devices are displayed to you.
3. Now select the device you want to locate. A map will show you where the smartphone is currently located. The location can be determined to within 5 to 10 meters. Also play a sound to help you find your phone faster.
4. If your smartphone has no GPS reception, it can not be located.
5. If the phone was stolen by someone, you can lock it remotely by clicking on "Lost". This ensures that no stranger makes purchases via Apple Pay.
6. Be sure to report the loss to the local police.
