Of the various tips that we give here on Techlifers, this is probably the most painful. In case of loss, theft or theft of your iPhone, iPad or any Apple device, you must act as soon as possible to locate the device.
In this tutoriall, I use a iPad to simulate iPhone loss, but the tip is for all devices. If it's a mobile, download Find My iPhone here. if it's hair PC or Mac, access the iCloud web page here.
Using Find My iPhone
The first thing to do is put in the application or your Apple ID and password that you accurate have registered on all your devices. Just in case, it's the account you download apps from the App and iTunes Stores.
Then a map will open with the location of all your Gadgets. If they are still on, there are three options: “Play Sound”, “Lost” and “Erase iPhone”. In case it is offline, you can use the last two options and when they call him again, you'll know.
In addition to being able to see which devices are active on the map, in the upper left corner, click on the "<" to see all devices.
When choosing the one you missed, you can click "Lost" and then you can put a phone number to call you and a configurable message that will appear on the iPhone screen if it is turned on.
You can also click on “Turn off iPhone”, so when he goes connected to the internet, he will be automatically erased and will become a paper weight. The problem is that you will no longer be able to locate where it is and whoever has it will not be able to use it unless they know your Apple ID and password.
The “least worse” option is if you simply have forgotten the device around the house and want to know where it is. When pressing on "Play We Are"the iPhone will start beeping until you find it.
