Your expensive iPhone is missing. Is it lost? Has it been stolen? If you lose your iPhone, you can find it from a variety of other sources, including iPad, Mac, iCloud, and Apple Watch.
You can track it using Apple's Find My app on the iCloud website, any of your other Apple devices, or devices registered to your family. Or remotely wipe all data on it from the Find My app. With iOS 15, you can also find your phone up to 24 hours after the battery dies or the device is turned off.
Of course, the trick here is to enable the necessary settings before your phone disappears, so you can more easily find it if it is lost. Here's how to set everything up.
Update your phone
First, to find a powered-off or powered-off iPhone, it needs to be running iOS 15 or higher. Go to Settings > General > Software Update. You will be informed that iOS is up to date or prompted to download and install the latest update.
Enable Find My Apps
Next, make sure the Find My feature is enabled. Go to Settings > [your name] > Find My iPhone > Find My iPhone and make sure Find My Phone, Find Networks, and Send Last Location are all turned on. These Option will individually enable Find My iPhone so that it works when the phone is offline or turned off
