Locate a device

  1. On iPhone or another iOS device, open Find My iPhone.
  2. Or on a computer, go to the Find My iPhone web app on iCloud.
  3. Sign in with your Apple ID, then select the device you want to locate.
  4. Tap Actions, then tap any of the following:
    • Play Sound: Play a sound at full volume for 2 minutes, even if the ringer is set to silent.
  • Lost Mode: Immediately lock your missing device with a passcode and display a custom message on the screen with a contact number. Find My iPhone tracks and reports the location of your device, so you can see where it’s been.
    • When a device that supports Apple Pay is in Lost Mode, Find My iPhone immediately suspends your credit, debit, and student ID cards and disables Apple Pay, even if the device is offline. It suspends Express Transit cards the next time the device is online. See Remove your cards from Apple Pay if your iPhone is lost or stolen.
    • Erase your missing device: Protect your privacy by erasing all the information and media on your missing device and restoring it to its original factory settings. Activation Lock prevents anyone else from activating and using your device, even after you erase it with Find My iPhone. On models that support Apple Pay, erasing iPhone immediately suspends your credit, debit, and student ID cards and disables Apple Pay, even if the device is offline. It suspends Express Transit cards the next time the device is online.


Ask Siri. Say something like: “Help me find my iPad” or “Play a sound on my iPod touch.” Learn how to ask Siri.
