The iPhone comes with many default applications that not everyone uses, but not much is known what is the benefit of many of them in the first place, so Apple has always been asked to allow the deletion of applications and indeed it has become possible to delete applications (somewhat), but in this series we decided to teach our followers how to become professional. Many of the abandoned Apple apps might be of interest or of interest. Today we are talking about the "Find iPhone" app.
What is the application?
Find iPhone is an application that enables you to track the location of an iPhone, iPad, or any Apple device that belongs to you, and also perform many steps such as wiping data remotely or playing a sound on it. The image above shows the app's splash screen, in which the app locates all devices that have been registered with your Apple account.
Get started using the app
When the devices are located, they move to the screen shown in the picture, where only the devices connected to the Internet are located - even if the device contains a GPS chip, technically, the service needs an internet connection to do anything, so it is preferable to keep the data package working on the phone as well as Wi-Fi.
Choose your device
When you select a device from the list (the MacBook in my case), it will be located on the displayed map and give you several options at the bottom. The first option on the right is that it allows you to display your location on the map (useful if the device’s location is different from your location, but in my case, I and the device are in one location). The next important choice is “Actions” and when you press it, the menu shown in the image on the left appears, which is There are four symbols in it, the first of which is the car icon next to the name of the device, which takes you to the Apple Maps application to start directing the device on the map, the next option (the first on the right side) is to play a sound and it is very useful if you lost the device in your home, for example, so the device plays a sound you can Track him when searching for it. The third option is to lock the device and it locks the device to prevent it from being used by a stranger. The last option is to wipe all the data on the device where you can do this remotely via the application in order to prevent any intrusion or data theft from you.
Other choices
Here we show other options that you can see. The options are very similar to the previous window except that the device in the image is locked and cannot be found. In this case, you will find new options which are "lost mode" and "Notify when found." The latter sends a notification to you when the lost device connects to the Internet, meaning that it has been found by someone. As for the lost mode, it allows you to lock the device with a password if it is not already closed and it enables you to display a message such as how to communicate with you if someone finds it, but these two features only work when the lost device connects to the Internet, but the lost mode also provides you with preventing all bank cards from communicating with The device will immediately stop the Apple Pay service on the device, even if the device does not connect to the Internet.
another thing
When you open the application, you will also receive a notification asking you to allow the iPhone to track its location at intervals in order to store it and can send the last known location 24 hours after the battery runs out or the internet is cut off, and this may be very useful.
I found a disabled iPhone, is there any way to communicate with its owner? I found it in Lebanon with a Saudi stc chip inside it?
Apple must add the feature of not locking the iPhone off, except by entering the password or fingerprint, because if the thief took the iPhone for a long time, he would turn off the device, and thus we will not be able to locate the iPhone because it is locked and not connected to the Internet
A solution must be found to the problem of Internet connection
If they do not add a way to connect the lost device to the Internet, the service is very weak and is not helpful when theft is stolen
Honestly, the service is without benefit, I am my iPhone, the first thing I did, I called on my cell phone, I found it closed, naturally the thief would turn off the phone, and then I went to find my iPhone service and it went offline, and the phone went on top of it.
Nabi Gilbrick 10.2 This update 10.1.1 can be returned as much as possible
What if the phone was stolen and it is not working yet (it was stolen with its cover and not used yet) and I have no proof except the invoice, is there a solution? Of course, through Apple
If you bought it from a specific telecom company, go to them and consult them about the situation, and if you bought it from a seller, it is preferable that you call Apple to ask them.
Very very important article
Thank you so much
He used it, but it has value. A shower was offered for a patent to find the iPhone without the Internet, but with time we will see it. I mean, it is possible for 3 years to see it.
I actually use it, but thankfully, I have never lost a phone before. Thank you and thank you
Peace and mercy of God
I opened an account on the App Store. I want to activate the verification code, but I do not receive the code. My iPhone does not appear to me.
What are the solutions, may God reward you
Please answer ..
Thank you for the program
A thousand thanks to you
Great service from Apple
I used it a long time ago
It helped me one of the previous times
