How to find out where a person is using an iPhone, how to find it if it’s lost?
Purchasing new gadgets from Apple, such as iPad and iPhone, is always a very joyful event, especially if you are a fan of this corporation. Absolutely every tablet or smartphone model from the company of the same name gives its fans a huge number of very pleasant and quite useful surprises in the form of completely new games, programs and updates.
But if you lose your device, the joy of purchasing it can turn into disappointment.
It is especially worth noting that among the latest software innovations from Apple is a radically updated My Friends application, which was specially created for devices that run on the iOS operating system. This new program is already different:
- updated appearance;
- special adapted design;
- the general style of the seven (there are extremely thin icons, and the design is in light colors);
When the smartphone is turned on, it is extremely easy to find or track
The main task of the updated “My Friends” program is, first of all, to determine on the map itself the geoposition of people who use iPhone, iPad and iPod touch gadgets, and so on. In principle, it is a very narrowly focused service, although it is quite a useful application for these devices. Simply put, when any two people have installed the “My friends” applications on their own devices, you just need to activate them, using their own accounts. The program independently recognizes where the other owner of the smartphone is when the phone is turned on.
Thanks to this function, you can find out where absolutely anyone is. This application is also convenient because you can simply find your iPhone, but only if it is turned on. You can also use the icloud.com application, which allows you to find your iPhone. Important: if a person has lost his iPhone, then you can find it this way only if it is turned on and working.
In addition, you can find and find out where your iPhone is if it works in absolutely any mode. The main thing is that the settings are not reset. Because if the settings were reset, then the phone will automatically log out of your AppleID.com account.
Improved Find iPhone feature
Immediately after you have purchased an iPhone mobile smartphone for yourself or as a gift, be sure to ask the seller’s consultant to install the iPhone Search program. Thanks to this function, you can also find out where anyone is. By the way, you can also find someone else’s iPhone under the same conditions - it is turned on or working in offline mode.
First, you need to make sure that you have an original iPhone and it is configured properly so that the geolocation function is active (go to the settings menu, then go to privacy and there will be a Geolocation menu).
It is especially worth noting that you must activate iCloud.com, after which you must immediately activate the “Find iPhone” service in the iCloud.com tab located in the system settings. Naturally, this procedure is not able to protect you from losing or having your smartphone stolen.
We would like to clarify again that the special iCloud.com service finds a lost iPhone only if it is turned on! It's quite simple and doesn't require much effort - you'll just see exactly where the iPhone is at the time of the request. What you need to do for this:
- go to iCloud.com
- select the desired contact.
After this, a special map will show the exact coordinates of the place where your iPhone is located, if it is turned on.
In addition, to find your lost iPhone, you can simply create a special security password on icloud.com. For those who have lost their iPhone, it will be very important to know that a person, thanks to the site icloud.com, can completely erase absolutely all information from his own iPhone in just a few minutes, and also, if a person has lost a smartphone, he can send an SMS message to my iPhone, which I lost somewhere. But most importantly, thanks to icloud.com, a person who has lost this smartphone can set up an “icloud emergency siren”, which will continue until the moment when the real owner does not turn it off, in order to find out and possibly hear it somewhere nearby. The iPhone sounds very loud and at the same time, it sounds in any state - even when turned off.
