cking an iPhone is very easy with its built-in GPS and a plethora of tracking apps. You can use Find My iPhone to track your own iPhone if it's been lost or stolen. If you want to share your location with friends and family, the Find My Friends app will let you track anyone that you share your information with.
Method One of Two:
Tracking Your Own iPhone
Edit
1
Open Find My iPhone on another device. There are several ways that you can do this:
Visit icloud.com/find from any computer. Log in with the same Apple ID that is associated with your iPhone.
Open the Find My iPhone app on another iOS device. Log in as a guest if you're using someone else iOS device.
2
Tap or click on the All Devices button at the top of the screen. Choose an enabled device to search for it. You can add any iOS device to your Apple ID to use it with Find My iPhone.
3
Select your iPhone from the list of devices. Your iPhone will be displayed in this list. Click on it, and your device's information will appear.
If the phone has been powered off, or the battery has died, it will show you the last known location of your phone, but will not be able to show you the current address.
4
Send a notification. From your iPhone's info window, you can send an alert. If your phone has slipped between the cushions, or left in your jacket, this makes it easy to find. For two minutes, a loud alert will sound—even if you've muted your phone.
5
Track your phone. If you're using iOS 6 or later, click Lost Mode in your phone's info window.
You'll be asked to enter an unlock code for your phone. Use a random number set that's not tied to you: no SSN, no birthdate, driver's license number, or anything that is personal.
You may also enter a message and contact phone number.
If your iPhone is online, it will immediately be locked, and you can see your phone's current location, as well as any changes in location. If your phone is offline, it will lock immediately if it's powered up, you'll be notified via email, and you'll be able to track your phone's position.
6
Erase all your data. Should you not be able to locate your phone and fear that someone may be compromising your personal data, click on the Erase iPhone button in the phone's info window. This will erase all data, but you will not be able to use Find My iPhone to locate your phone once that happens.
Should you later recover your phone, you can restore your data through your iTunes backup.
