The Find My app makes it easy to keep track of your Apple devices — even if they’re offline. You can also locate items using AirTag or Find My technology. Or pinpoint friends and family with Precision Finding. Everyone's location stays private every step of the way.
You take your devices everywhere. Which means you might leave them anywhere. Get help finding them in the Find My app or new Find My widget, which lets you track your devices at a glance, right on the Home Screen of your iPhone or iPad.
Is your iPad at home or back at the office? Use the map to get a full picture of where your devices are — and where a missing one might be. For more info, just tap on a product icon. Some devices can still send their location for up to 24 hours after they’ve been turned off or have low battery life.
When you can’t find something but think it’s nearby or around others who might hear it, you can play a sound to pinpoint its location. The latest AirPods cases have built‑in speakers that deliver louder tones, so it's even easier to locate them.
Find My can even let you know if you leave your devices in an unfamiliar location. Just turn on Notify When Left Behind on your iPhone, Apple Watch or iPad. Want to leave your MacBook at the studio? Easy. You can fine tune your notifications by device and location.
If your device, AirTag or Find My network accessory goes missing, you can put it in Lost Mode. That starts tracking its location, sends you a notification when it pings the network, and sets your passcode to protect your data. You can also let people know how to reach you. They can simply view your message on your device’s Lock Screen, or tap your AirTag with their smartphone to get your contact info and identify what you’ve lost.1
Worried that your device has fallen into the wrong hands? You may want to erase it remotely to delete your personal data and reset your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch or Mac. If you retrieve it, you can restore your data from your iCloud backup.
Activation Lock is designed to prevent anyone else from using or selling your device. When you enable Find My on your device, Activation Lock is turned on automatically.
Your Apple Account and password will then be required in order to erase or reactivate it. And if someone is able to erase your device, the Hello screen will show that it’s locked, locatable, and still belongs to you.
If your missing device can’t connect to the internet or has little to no battery life, the Find My app can still help you track it down using the Find My network — hundreds of millions of iPhone, iPad and Mac devices around the world. Nearby devices securely send the location of your missing device to iCloud, then you can see where it is in the Find My app. It’s all anonymous and encrypted to protect everyone’s privacy.
Misplaced your keys? Forgot your purse? If they have AirTag attached, they won’t be lost for long. The Find My network lets you track items on a map, play a sound on your AirTag — and even get the distance and direction to your AirTag with Precision Finding. Share AirTag or Find My network accessories with up to five people, so friends and family can track items, too.
Invite people to share their location with you, using Find My friends. Then you can keep in touch with one another, easily find your friends in a crowd or know when a family member has arrived home safely.
Live Locations lets you share your location with friends and family in real time — for an hour, a day or indefinitely — it’s up to you. If someone’s on the move, you can get a sense of the direction they’re traveling in and how fast. Making it even easier for you to find each other and stay connected.
Want to find a friend in a crowded train station or busy park? Look no further than Precision Finding. It’s powered by the second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, now with three times greater range, so it can lead you right to them. (Only on iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Pro.)
If you like, you can get notifications when your child arrives at school or a family member leaves work. Notifications are easy to set up, and each person gets the choice to opt in. So everyone’s privacy is respected.
Find My technology can now be built into all kinds of things — like bikes, backpacks, and more. So anything that works with Find My can be added right next to all your Apple stuff in the Find My app and widget.
Just like every Apple product, Find My is designed to put you in control of your data. Apple receives location information only when you actively locate your device, mark it as lost or enable Send Last Location. Location data is encrypted on Apple’s servers and only retained 24 hours. And when the Find My network is used, everyone’s information is kept private — even from Apple.
