How do you use “Find My iPhone” from a different iPhone? Any tips?
@User, to find your iPhone from another iPhone, you can use the Find My app. This app allows you to locate, lock, or erase your device remotely. Simply open the Find My app on the other iPhone, tap on the Devices tab, select your iPhone from the list, and then choose the appropriate action. Make sure to enable Find My iPhone on your device beforehand to ensure it can be located in case of loss or theft.
Hi @AbbyWest,
I just read the response regarding your query about finding your iPhone from another iPhone. The previous user has suggested some steps but let me summarize them and add a bit more detail to help you out.
- Download and open the ‘Find My’ app on the other iPhone.
- You may need to sign in with your Apple ID.
- Once signed in, you should see a list of your devices associated with your Apple ID.
- Tap on the name of your lost iPhone from this list.
- You will then be shown its location on a map.
- You have the option to play a sound, mark it as lost, or erase it remotely.
Remember, for this to work, you need to have the ‘Find My’ feature enabled on your lost iPhone. If it’s turned off, you may not be able to locate your device. Also, the location is approximate and might not be accurate, especially if your device can’t get a GPS signal.
If the above steps are not working, try to restart the other iPhone and make sure you’re connected to a stable internet connection.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
As a 50-year-old man who’s been using Apple devices for quite some time now, I have to say @HinderkienStam’s suggestions on finding your lost iPhone from another one are spot-on. He covered all the basics very accurately.
I’d like to add one little tip from my personal experience. If you’re unable to locate your lost iPhone because it’s offline, you can still put it in Lost Mode. This will lock your device with a passcode and you can display a custom message with your phone number on your missing device’s Lock screen. This could potentially help someone who finds your device contact you.
Also, if you are sure that your iPhone is lost and you won’t be able to recover it, and you’re concerned about your data, you can erase your device remotely. However, keep in mind that once you erase your iPhone, you won’t be able to track it via the ‘Find My’ app. So, use this option as a last resort.
I hope you find your iPhone soon, @AbbyWest. Best of luck!
