Losing your phone is a rather problematic situation, but it can happen to anyone. Even worse, when the iPhone is turned off or discharged. What to do in such a situation?
«Find my iPhone»
Of course, the developers of the phone thought through all sorts of cases, and found a way out of this situation. The Find my iPhone program is included in the standard iPhone package. Its main task is to find any iPhone, even when it is turned off.
In order to find a person through this program, you need to know the basic information. In order for another iPhone to be searchable, you need to know your iCloud login and owner password.
How to activate the program? Step by step instructions: settings – iCloud – find iPhone (activate the function). That’s not all, then you need to: settings – privacy – location services – find iPhone (here you allow the program access to your location, otherwise the application will not work). An important condition is that the smartphone must be connected to the Internet.
«Find my friends»
This is another app to find your lost phone. It differs from “Find my iPhone” in that you do not need to know iCloud and the password, but you need permission from the other side. The method is suitable for those who need to find their smartphone, but they do not want to share personal passwords with anyone.
How it works?
To get started, download this app. Very good if you already have it. Next, you need to register, specify your data and phone number. After that, your phone book will open, but not completely. Only contacts that have allowed access to their location will be visible. You just have to choose the person you need and view his data. Another case: the person is not on the list. Then you add it yourself through the plus on the top right, and then the “send” button near the subscriber. He will receive a notification that you want to have access to his location and will be able to confirm or deny the request.
“Find my”
In order not to bother with applications, Apple developers decided to add a phone search function to the settings.
To activate this feature, you need to go to the settings, then click on your name, and then on “Find my”. There you need to select the item “find my iPhone” and enable the function.
It is highly recommended that you choose at least one of these methods and apply it to your action. Then a lost iPhone in a disabled state will not be a terrible problem for you.
