Please note that Find My iPhone must be enabled in iCloud settings on your device before you can locate it with FindMyiPhone. • View your current location and the location of your missing device on the same map. • Cancel a pending erase request if your missing device is offline. When you use Find My iPhone, your device’s location, as well as information about your device and your account will be sent to and retained by Apple so Apple can provide you with the service. While in Lost Mode, your device can keep track of where it has been and report back so you can view its recent location history, right from the Find My iPhone app. Find My iPhone will help you locate your missing device on a map, remotely lock it, play a sound, display a message, or erase all the data on it. Apple retains location information and makes it accessible to you for 24 hours, after which it is deleted. • Find My iPhone 4. 0 requires iOS 8 or later and iCloud. If you misplace your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, the Find My iPhone app will let you use any iOS device to find it and protect your data. Your device’s location is only sent to Apple if you actively request the location of a device or accessory. If you choose to enable the Send Last Location feature, your device’s last known location will be automatically sent to Apple any time your device’s battery reaches a critically low level. You can create a free Apple ID to use with iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac. • Wi-Fi or cellular internet connection is required. For missing iOS devices, Find My iPhone also includes Lost Mode. Lost Mode locks your device with a passcode and can display a custom message and contact phone number right on the Lock Screen. Simply install this free app, open it, and sign in with the Apple ID you use for iCloud. WiFi-only devices must be connected to the Internet via a registered Wi-Fi network to be located.
