A variety of smartphones have become part of the life of modern people. They go online from iPhones, store photographs in their memory, make schedules through a convenient interface. The problem is the loss of the gadget, in connection with which the "lost" has the question of how to find the lost iPhone.
Instructions
Step 1
To search for a lost iPhone, the manufacturer has provided a special function in the smartphone. To find a phone that was stolen or forgotten somewhere, you first had to:
- enable iCloud;
- download the "Find Iphone" program from the AppStore;
- enable the corresponding function.
Step 2
If you notice the loss of your phone, then with the "Find iPhone" function enabled, you can go to the icloud.com website, enter your apple ID and password, which were registered when the device was activated. If the lost iPhone is turned on even with a different SIM card, you can see the location of your device on the map.
Step 3
If the operating system iOS 7 was installed on the phone, then it was possible to install not only the location tracking function, but also a prohibition on turning it off, deleting data from the device, and reactivating it. To perform these actions, the device must ask for an Apple ID and password. Thus, your stolen or lost iPhone can not only be found, but also not allowed to be used by others. You can also send a message to the person who found the phone via iCloud with information on how to contact you.
Step 4
If you find your phone is missing, you can also call your number. It is possible that no one has yet managed to find it, and when you return to the alleged place of loss, you will find your gadget on a call. If the mobile was stolen, but the thief did not have time to turn it off, you can also try to agree on a meeting point and the amount of the reward.
Step 5
If the above methods did not help find the lost iPhone, then you can write a statement to the police. This can be done only if you are sure that you did not drop the device somewhere, but it was stolen from your pocket or bag.
Step 6
To contact the law enforcement agencies, you will need a passport, phone IMEI, a receipt confirming the purchase. You will also need to report the time and place of the theft, as well as other details of the incident when writing a statement.
Step 7
If you do not know how to find a lost iPhone, then you should not contact suspicious companies that promise to do it for you. There are no other ways to determine the location of a lost smartphone, other than those described above, and therefore you will simply waste time and money.
