Find My: One app to find it all
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. Plus, you can keep up with friends and family. And your privacy is protected every step of the way.
Find your Apple devices.
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.
See all your devices on a map.
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.

Play a sound to find your device.
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.

Set it so you
won’t forget it.
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.

Display a message for someone who finds it.
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

Erase it with ease.
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.

Lock it down. Automatically.
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 ID 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.

You can even find devices that are offline or powered off.
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.
AirTag can help you find just about anything.
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.
Find your friends.
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.
See where everyone is in real time.
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.
Know when they leave. Know when they arrive.
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.
Let friends know
how remote you go.
If you’re on an adventure without cell service or Wi‑Fi, you can use Find My on iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro to share your location over satellite.3 So everyone’s in the loop.
What else can Find My find?
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.
Everyone’s location data stays private.
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.
