The Find?My app makes it easy to keep track of your Apple devices. Locate items you’ve attached AirTag to. And keep up with friends and family. It works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac — even if your missing devices are offline. And your privacy is protected every step of the?way.
You take your devices everywhere. Which means you might leave them anywhere. Whether they’re under a sofa pillow or in a conference room, chances are they won’t be lost for long. You can get help finding your iPhone, iPad, iPod?touch, Apple?Watch, Mac, AirPods, or AirTag right in the Find?My?app.
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. Some devices can also mark their location when the battery is critically low, to help you find them even if they run out of?power.
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. Your AirPods play a specifically designed sound that can project across a room?— and even?farther.
If your device or AirTag 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?number.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.1 When you enable Find?My on your device, Activation?Lock is turned on automatically. Your Apple?ID and password will then be required in order to erase or reactivate your?device.
If your missing device can’t connect to the internet, 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 can help you track down items on a map. You can play a sound on your AirTag to find something hiding nearby — you can even get the distance and direction to your AirTag with Precision?Finding.2
Invite friends and family members to share their locations. So you can keep in touch with one another, coordinate around an event, or know when a family member has arrived home?safely.
When you share your location with friends, it’s easier for you to find each other and stay connected. Share your location for an hour, a day, or indefinitely — it’s up to?you.
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, headphones, and more. So anything that works with Find?My can be added right next to all your Apple stuff in the Find?My app.
Just like every Apple product, Find?My is designed to put you in control of your data. Location information is only sent to Apple when you actively locate your device, mark it as lost, or enable Send?Last?Location. Data is encrypted on Apple’s servers and kept for no more than 24?hours. And when the Find?My network is used, everyone’s information is kept private — even from?Apple.
