Select Find My iPhone. Select Find my iPhone. Find My iPhone is now enabled. Do you want to continue?

To locate another device, click the name of the current device in the center of the toolbar to access the Devices list, then select a new device.
Their devices appear below yours in the Devices list. Each family member must set up their devices to share their locations with other family members. See the Apple Support article Share your location with your family.
Once they set up location sharing, you can locate their devices using the instructions above. Friends who lose a device can go to icloud. Update the location: After selecting a device in the Devices list, click the green dot on the map, then click. Zoom in: Click or pinch open on a trackpad. Scanning your finger or letting Face ID do its magic is a minor inconvenience.
And after a few days, the extra step will become part of your routine and you won't even notice. After setting a passcode, double-check that Find My is turned on.
It should be enabled by default, and you'd have to go out of your way to disable it, but it's always a good idea to double-check right now. On your iPhone, open the Settings app and tap on your name at the top of the screen. Make sure that the switch next to Find My iPhone is on, and while you're there, make sure the switches next to Find My network and Send Last Location are on as well. As a refresher, Apple's Find My network will crowdsource the location of a device marked as lost.
For example, if you lose your iPhone and mark it as lost in the Find My app more on that process in a minute , Apple will use the Find My service on any iPad, iPhone or Mac to locate your iPhone, even if it's not connected to the internet. The device owner won't even know they're helping you find your lost device. I covered this feature in more detail here when it made its debut. There's no reason to not use the network to help you, or a complete stranger, find a lost Apple device.
As for Send Last Location, well, that's pretty self-explanatory. As your battery gets low, it will automatically send its last location to Find My in an effort to help you recover it if it turns off. You can still track your phone after it shuts down if your device is running iOS 15, but that's only available on newer iPhone models.
More on that later. Apple's Family Sharing service not only saves you money by letting your entire family install a paid app on multiple devices, but it also integrates with the Find My. With Family Sharing set up , you can view the location of all the devices linked to a family member's Apple ID. Meaning, you can ask a family member to immediately begin looking for your lost iPhone once you realize it's missing.
The best way to keep your phone secure, especially when you're traveling or in unfamiliar areas, is to keep a close eye on it and never relax. Be cautious. Overly cautious, even. Don't keep your phone out in the open where someone can grab it and run off. If you do lose your phone, don't panic! Take a deep breath and remember to use Find My iPhone. The app is connected to and managed by your Apple ID. The moment you realize you've lost your phone, the first thing you should do is visit icloud.
If accessing Find My via the website or on someone else's device, it's important to sign in to the same iCloud account linked to the lost iPhone.
