Have you lost your phone? Don’t worry, we’ve got your back.

Find My iPhone is Apple’s private app that is dedicated to helping users find their stolen or lost devices. As Position Mobile has learned from Digital Trends, “The app comes installed on every iOS device and can display your missing device on a map to help you easily locate and manage it. The only requirement to employing this method is that you use another iOS phone, tablet, or computer that also has the Find My iPhone app.”

Below are 4 steps you should take if you have lost your iPhone.

1. Open the Find My app on another device.
2. Choose the Devices or Items tab.
3. Choose the Devices or Items tab.
4. Select the device or item to see its location on the map.
5. Choose Directions to open its location in Maps.

According to Apple’s official page, “If you turn on Find My network, you can see your device or item’s location even if it’s not connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. The Find My network is an encrypted anonymous network of hundreds of millions of Apple devices that can help you locate your device or item.”

If you can’t see your device, you might have Find My turned off. If your phone is powered off, the battery has run out, or more than 24 hours has passed since its last location was sent to Apple, you can’t see your device’s location. 

If you want to be on the safe side turn on Find My, by following the steps below:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap your name, then tap Find My.
3. If you want friends and family to know where you are, turn on Share My Location.
4. Tap Find My [device], then turn on Find My [device]

To see your device even when it’s offline, turn on Find My network, and to have the location of your device sent to Apple when the battery is low, turn on Send Last Location.
