A cell phone is indispensable these days so that’s why when we lost it we get panic, angry and so on because we can’t do anymore a lot of things and, in some cases, we might lose a lot of important phone numbers from our agenda. That’s why, tracking systems became more and more important in our days and if we are lucky enough, if I can say this, to lose our phone and it still remains turned on, than we might have chances to recover what is important.

Every operating system has different ways in tracking a device and today will write a bit about iPhones. Apple’s Find My iPhone hasn’t got any problems in detecting a phone’s physical location as long it is still working, or in other words, it is still ‘alive’. OK, many might say ‘Definitely won’ happen to me to lose my phone!’ Let’s hope it won’t, but just in case it is good for you to open to have the mentioned above setting turned on.

How you do that? Quite simple: on your iOS device, go to Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone and after you get there, make sure that the switch next to Find My iPhone is in the green on position.You can now track your iOS device using an application on another iPhone or iPad, or using the browser. Now, we’ll let you know how the application work and how you might recover your device in due time.

Step 1: Download the Find My iPhone app on your iOS device.

Step 2: Sign in with your iCloud account, the same one you're using on the iPhone you are trying to locate.

Step 3: Now all the devices that are signed in to that iCloud account will be listed in the application, so you can tap any device to see its location.


If you locate it, but unfortunately conclude that it is in wrong hands and you might have problems because of some data stocked in the phone, you can use fast the Erase iPhone button to delete it but this might be quite a risk if you consider that once data is deleted you won't be able anymore to use Find my iPhone to physically track the phone.
