locating iPhone X without iCloud - Alternatives

Apple offers the special "Find my iPhone" feature to find a lost iPhone. You do not need the iCloud to do this. However, the device you want to search for must already have the feature enabled. "Find my iPhone" can be turned on in the settings.

How to find your iPhone X without iCloud
