In this article, we continue the series of tutorials on iOS and Apple services that started To the keyboard ثم Restrictions وSafari And then iCloud And cloud services And then the iMassage. Our goal in this series is to create articles that enable those who have never used Apple devices to know everything about a specific feature. In this article, we review the service to find the iPhone.
One of the oldest and most important advantages of Apple, which was unique to providing it for years in front of the competing systems and was the reason for reducing the levels of theft of the iPhone after adding the feature of "activating the lock" to it. In the following lines, you will know everything about it:
1
In the beginning, you should know that the service is available on all Apple devices, not just the iPhone, as it appears from its name. You can learn where your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac computer are.
2
The feature does not work by default because it monitors the location of the iPhone "device", so you have to activate it by logging into the "iCloud" cloud service from Settings and activating the service.
3
We recommend that you activate the "send another location" option, which sends the last location the iPhone was in if the phone's charge level was found low. This is very useful, as you may drop the iPhone and empty it and thus you will not find it with the tracking service. But when you do it, the iPhone "device" automatically, if it finds low charging, sends the location to be saved with Apple.
4
At any time, if you lose your device or do not find it, open the automatically installed Find My iPhone application “Old versions of iOS had to be downloaded from the store”. Log in and you will find a list of your devices.
5
The previous step is only suitable if you have another "Apple" device, but if you do not have any devices, you can open the iCloud.com website, then the Find My iPhone service and see the location of your device.
6
If you lose the phone, you can activate the "lost" mode and it locks the device with a secret code, and the iPhone will not work again except by typing the password. Even if the person who found it "shreds" it and downloads a new iOS version, he will be asked for your account password. In short, the device will not work again except with you.
7
During the preparation of the lost mode steps, Apple will ask you to enter an emergency phone number to appear on the screen of the lost device, and this command is very useful as the text that you type will appear on the screen of the device and be "Return my device and you have such a reward" and there is a phone number and if the person who finds a device presses on The phone number will be called from the iPhone itself, meaning you will not have to worry about whether the person who found it has a balance to call me or how to find me.
8
It must be repeated intentionally several times that your device has an Internet package in order to be able to communicate with it and find it. If you can buy an iPhone and do not subscribe to an Internet package or turn off cellular data in order to save energy, you should know that if you lose it, you will not find it. Apple communicates with the iPhone via the Internet. We add this paragraph to answer the question "I lost the iPhone while I am not a subscriber to an Internet package / I shut down the Internet services", what should I do? The answer is, go to the nearest Apple branch and buy a new iPhone :-)
9
Before buying a used phone, you must check whether it is related to Find the Phone service or not, visit the Apple website dedicated to the service from this link. Write down the serial number or IMEI. Never buy an iPhone linked to the cloud because if you have a problem with it and you download a new iOS version, it will stop working unless you enter the password of the cloud account to which the device is linked. So you must make sure first before purchasing.
10
When you activate the "Lost Mode" service, Apple will monitor the iPhone’s movement and display it to you, whether it is its current location or the sites you are moving in.
I want to burn the stolen phone from me
Exactly, I am a father, delete the iPhone, my right, and press the wipe, and I put the number and everything in two dimensions is typed.
Ok, if the one who stole my cell phone knows the passcode?
The service is good for me or not
I gave all of our employees an iPhone and iCloud device to the company, how can I follow up on job calls and know their whereabouts at work
Can I do that, given that all the devices are iPhone, and all of them are any one cloud? Please advise and thank you.
Steal iPhone 6 Plus How do I know that my iCloud account is still linked to it
I put the iPhone on the lost status, and for those who got it, and my father, did it open the device?
When I enter the iCloud website, my devices appear, and only one of them is written connected, the website services are stopped ... How do I do the service from the iCloud site
My iPhone was stolen
What are the steps to follow
How do I see my other device on the map?
Yes, I always do cellular data
Well done for this useful article
As for the eighth paragraph, it is inaccurate ... if the device is not connected to a package or is not connected to the Internet at all, it will enter the lost mode if it connects to the Internet at any later time .. Certain information is tested with precision and detail
If the lock mode is activated and there is no package on the device, is it when the device is reformatted and activated and then closed by Apple or not?
May God reward you well before that. This iPhone was Mona's lock. I worked for it and forgot the iCloud password. With your help, I called the Apple service. Thank God, the device was unlocked.
Thanks for the information
My device was lost and I found it with the person who found it through this service, as this person was surprised that I knew its location, and when he felt the device was not important because it was closed, he tried to sell it to another but he returned it to me for the same reason
Thanks for the benefit
But if the thief is smart
Withdraw the SIM card slot
How do we work Hahaha
Even if the device is not connected to the Internet when connected to the Internet, it will enter Lost Mode
Explanation of activating the lost mode feature
Thank you for this information, inspiration, and information that you always provide
If I buy a used iPhone, how do I know that the service is stopped in it, I fear its owner will lock it or fail to update it.
شكرا
When click on the link in step XNUMX
It does not enter because it is written as normal text
Thank you very much, and I repeat the request of Brother Abu Hashem to try to find his deleted program, which takes a picture of someone who is begging him to open the device without permission and send it via email 😍😍
Question… In the eighth paragraph, do I always have to turn on cellular data when I go out from the house, or does the iPhone automatically turn it on if I press (Lose iPhone)?
How do I do this loss steps?
Impossible, just leave my device connected to cellular data all the time, it will complete XNUMX hours ...
I have an iPhone 4s and a keyboard, the service to find the iPhone, I forgot to solve something to retrieve the password
Hi
All that is stuck in the iCloud service and searching for the device is known to me, praise be to God, and then to you, but there is a simple problem that I sent to Apple and they did not respond to it and it is important, namely the problem of the name of the device, for me there are several devices linked to my account and every device has a name with the names of my children such as Ahmed Omar and others, but when you reset the network reset, the device name becomes iphone, and this causes me confusion. I do not know the owner of this device who is so please contact the company to solve this problem.
Thank you very much ..
Ok, in shops, you can unlock the iCloud within 48 hours, but it's expensive, about 500 ﷼
Hi
Unfortunately, the service does not work without an internet package
It should work without the net so that the user can fully benefit from this service
I see some comments on the left of the image of the gold. What is meant by it and also I found it in my comment ??
You can get that signal by subscribing to the premium service
This service has several features
A great feature that must be activated from the first day of using the iPhone.
I would like you to explain iCloud Drive because if you display it on the iPhone screen, the page appears without the backup content.
Always happy iPhone Islam
Very nice
If I scan the iPhone, the first option is from the right!
I will not be able to retrieve the device again :(
Respected Ben Sami, if the thief switched off 3G mobile activation after the theft, does this apply as if I did not subscribe to the package, and the iPhone is lost
If the phone is locked, it cannot access the settings.
What if the thief took off the slide
The internet is necessary to exit the icloud account and stop the finding service .. To do this, the password for the icloud account must be known .. From other things, the phone becomes valid as spare parts only 😅, this is what I understood from this wonderful article.
Thank you, may Allah reward you
If you allow, I have a question outside of your topic
What are the reliable types of "power bank" approved by Apple that you advise me to use for the iPhone and what are the necessary electricity that comes out of the "power" to charge the iPhone. Thank you 🌹
In a genre named Mili
With me for two years and a nice job
Thank you valuable information
Suggested service explanation
AirDrop
Should the internet package be active, and what about the wifi !! ??
Peace be upon you .. a useful topic, and you are thankful for it
My iPad XNUMX device does not run your software at the required level after the update for XNUMX and the problem has not been resolved with the new updates for XNUMX
I mean, whoever opens the program carries the background, and in two dimensions the program will be locked up and it will not run unless you have restarted the device
Note that I use different programs and we will not be dealing with this problem
Try to delete the application, then go back and download it again
An interesting topic
Thank you. Indeed, a friend of mine’s device was stolen, and after a few days we found it and it was returned
I have a question, please, if the Internet is working, but the website services feature is closed. Is the loss process going?
not
A sophisticated and useful topic ..
The thief must go to the Internet to try to shred the device, and in this case, the message and the contact number that I recorded immediately appears to him, and he really cannot do anything and he has nothing but the connection to make financial use of it, and this is what was actually done with me.
In the other case, if the thief fears contact, he will sell him cheaply to use as spare parts
May Allah give you wellness and a very important subject
Thank you very much 😘😘😘😘
Yes, a good feature. I brought my iPhone, one from Egypt to Yemen, and one lost Ali inside Yemen, and I took it back
Nice to show you everything, and this is the most beautiful feature that I love in Apple. Finding how much they care about everything for the user and his comfort and preservation, may God reward you with good
Oh peace creators, a wonderful article and valuable information ,, God willing, there is no power but God ,,
Yes, I do the finding service, and I want an explanation about the YouTube application. I want to know how to close the bad clips or not show the bad clips. I have children who do not stop watching YouTube .. May God reward you well
I hope there will be an article about Father Astor and everything related to it, and if any, I wish to provide me with the link
If you allow any conditions of the update
Why can't the GPS tracker be tracked ??
What about canceling iCloud for iPhone? We live in Iraq open iCloud if the owner forgets the password via servers. It takes about a month and the opening price is $ XNUMX
I stole my phone a month ago, and I was activating the service, and I did not find it, because the one who stole the sim card removed from it immediately and was sure to use it without the Internet ... it is of no use
Because you did not put a password on the iPhone, and even if the iPhone is closed, he will certainly use it or sell it. In both cases, the Internet will work because the owner of the store will test the device, find the device with a password, and ask him to open it, and if it works for him, he finds that it is also locked with a password
With this, only used spare parts will benefit from the device
With this, you, my sister, did not benefit from the benefits of the service in the first place
A while ago, I downloaded a program, just that you entered the password for the iPhone by mistake, it filmed the person who tried to open the device and the location of the device and sent the picture and the site to the e-mail directly.
I hope you can send us the name of the program because I deleted the program
First, a wonderful article ... The seventh step, if I lose my device ... Should I fix it from the Apple website settings or the settings for my iPhone and what are the steps ?? Please reply, please, Yvonne Islam
Question please
Is it necessary to activate a location. Determine the location?
I see its benefit if the mobile is lost and not if it is stolen
The thief is not stupid and has two benefits
Either the money or it frightens you
So if the iPhone is stolen, the first thing in it is to lift it from the bottom of the phone to the top, then the flight is placed, and we are finished, the location of the iPhone will not be revealed
And in it, mobile shops, you pay them XNUMX riyals, to clear the iCloud for you
If you pay XNUMX, nobody can open iCloud for you :)
Even if a mother subscribes to a package, the thief cannot change anything without contacting the net. Therefore, the first will be communicating with My Phone and iCloud
Is it true ??
Can I explain in detail what I do if I want to buy a new device? And vice versa
I have used this feature since its release on all my devices, but what if the person who found my lost device reprogrammed it by downloading a new firmware ???
The system will ask him to enter the iCloud account associated with the phone, as it was mentioned in the article that he will never work except with you ,,, or he can do an iCloud registration unlock with XNUMX: XNUMX dollars 😃
I hope Apple will activate the device search service even when there is no internet
Thank you for this report
For those who criticize the service !!!
Apple has made the service to find your device in case it is lost if it wants to do so
And the service must work on the Internet, otherwise how can I search the Apple or Google map without a network?
Wonderful, distinctive and useful explanation Thank you iPhone _ Islam 🌹🌹🌹😄
I did this feature on my device
I am working with this advice from the first icloud to the internet package and how many times I forgot it in places and if it were not for icloud, I wouldn’t come back again. Thank you.
Did you do the internet on the iPhone or not?
Ok, if you are subscribed to the open package on the iPhone and the thief took out the SIM ?? The result will be the same !! ... is to go to the nearest Apple branch and buy a new iPhone :)
The smiling brother if the thief inserted an activated chip with an Internet package
You will find your phone
The Find iPhone service is not effective and has a lot of problems:
First, it must be activated on the iPhone
Ok, why should it be activated and not be activated once the user puts the icloud password?
Second: Why should the Internet be effective
Third: The user who puts a password on his cell phone loses it in case it is stolen, why?
Suppose someone does not have an internet package and stole his cell phone
First, the thief will not be able to open the mobile, and therefore he will not access any Wi-Fi or cellular network
Thus, the owner of the device will not be able to send the message to the thief or to whoever found the device if we think it is good and that he will return it to its owner
In the event that the device is without a lock or fingerprint, the thief will simply cut the device or stop the find iphone service
Therefore this service is never helpful to the users
And my friend lost his iPhone only because he hadn't activated Find iPhone service on his device yet
We contacted Apple and gave them the IMEI number and the invoice, but they apologized and said we cannot locate the device because it was not activated by the find iphone service
While Google has this service much better than Apple
I stole my phone a year and a half ago
Unfortunately, it did not have an internet package, and it went without returning):
Very beautiful..
I just got tired of what I complained about the unavailability of the waiting state service
By God Almighty, it caused many, very, very many problems !!
We hope that you pay attention and respond to God
Possible if you can paraphrase your question again clearly
Then many will try to answer you
Peace, mercy and blessings of God be upon you. Thank you for this wonderful topic, but we want to know more about IOS9, especially the jailbreak, when will it come out?
A very useful feature, but the problem with Internet and 3G packages and cellular services that spend a lot of data and then the package ends on the same day and this is very expensive for us, so what you know from the most monopolistic companies for the user is Syria, unfortunately 😞
Dear brother, you can go to Settings, then Cellular, and scroll down to find all the programs on the phone. Close the switch to prevent it from using cellular data .. Just leave the important programs such as Find My Phone and Whatsapp.
Peace be upon you. I am my brother. I forgot the name of the e-mail for my camel store. He is thinking of the password, and I think the beginning of the name and the phone box is present and the invoice, and everything is just the work of the form for the phone, and I don’t want to open the e-mail requestor and the password. Full ??
Dear brother, the email address if it is related to the cloud
You can open iCloud as an existing one
And if you try to buy any app from the App Store, it will give you the email and ask you for the password for the email
If I lost my iPhone after the battery ran out and the website was sent, how do I find the site?
Log in from any computer on the site
http://www.icloud.com
Very nice, but to be desired, the Internet is a bad service for finding a phone, why not on the mobile network
God bless you
You offer a lot, especially like these explanations that iPhone users need
I stole the iPhone from me, and when I opened the iCloud via a computer to activate the situation of theft, my phone number was not accepted, and I had to go through anyway and put the message and phone number, and I did not know whether the situation was activated or not
Thank you
Thank you for the distinguished explanation ... Good luck to you, God willing
This is an essential service and I never avail myself of it
One day I lost my phone and found it thanks to (Find iPhone Service)
Everyone should activate this feature
Thank you iPhone Islam for launching this article and the topic that is useful to all, God Almighty willing.
Thanks to God then….
Yes, by the grace of God and then in the mind of the giant American company (Apple)
Thank you my friend (Bassem)
