It was the old way to track a device IPhone Lost or stolen is for the phone to report its location from time to time so that you can discover its location on the map, but this method was easily overcome as the thief turned off the device immediately after it was stolen and it was over. Even for the old lost iPhones, it was possible Track it until the battery runs out and then say goodbye to your device, but in the new iOS 15, the situation has changed as Apple significantly raised Find My.
new operating system
The iPhone is still a great target for thieves as an expensive device, and over the past years, Apple has sought to make things difficult for thieves through steps that reduce its usefulness as a stolen device. Indeed, thefts decreased. And now with iOS 15, Apple has added the ability to track an iPhone through the Find My network, even when it's turned off, and this new method is much better and shows how much Find My has improved.
A new level for the Find My network
As I said a while ago, the thief was resorting to the trick of turning off the device but when it is turned off it literally does not stop working instead, the iPhone continues to emit a weak Bluetooth signal similar to what happens with the AirTag tracker where this unidentified signal is captured by Any Apple device passes near the location of the stolen iPhone, and then the location is sent to the company's servers until you turn on the Find My service.
This feature is only available for iPhone devices that have a U1 chip since iPhone 11 and later
When you launch the new Find My app, iOS 15 queries the location of your missing iPhone from Apple's servers and tells you the location, and if the AirTags tracker has been running for a year or more on one small battery, the larger iPhone battery will be able to survive for a longer time even if it is not full charged. The great thing is that the feature works even if the thief wipes the iPhone and you will continue to locate it without any problem.
Also there is a separation warning feature that alerts you if you leave your place without your iPhone, for example, let's say you left a coffee shop and put the iPhone in your pocket, but you forgot the iPad or perhaps the Apple Watch on the chair. You'll immediately receive a warning letting you know, you can also mark places that don't receive an alert when you leave your devices like home or the office.
Point of view
Do you remember the movies where a person or law enforcement agencies try to track users’ phones to reach a specific person, the matter has become available to Apple users through the Find My network, which relies on millions or perhaps billions of Apple devices scattered everywhere in the world that can search for each other with all Ease and so it may be difficult for your devices to be lost or stolen anymore.

Although there were those who asked my question, but I will repeat it for not answering: How does the separation warning feature work? This feature is very important to me for a long time, because I often forget my phone at home.
Are devices older than iPhone X and Madon outdated?
With the iOS 15 update, it is already out of date
But at least iPhone xr and newer is considered excellent because it contains an A12 processor
very good
Please post an article on how to use this feature on supported phones.
thanks for the information
Long live your hand on the news and you are satisfied with nice information and an excellent thing that it is in Ioz XNUMX, but I will wait until all the problems are solved tonight 👍🏻👍🏻🤞🏻😅
Thanks to this technology, the theft of the iPhone is of no use to me
Why? First, this feature is only for a few phones, and let's say I have an iPhone 11
The thief must have another iPhone. Of course, the one who steals my phone will have a Galaxy or not a phone.
Or put the iPhone somewhere where the iPhone is because the thief knows the movement
Then he goes to change the device's memory and then uses the iPhone
I am the one who wonders why Apple did not add this technology that follows the Air tag in the iPhone SE second generation, knowing that it was made after the iPhone 11, you will not lose, and because it is an important and necessary feature, it follows
For this auxiliary technology, Air tag, for example, what do I benefit from it if I buy an Air tech piece
The
This technology is not present in the second generation iPhone SE
Do not forget to update (Zamen), Sheikh Tariq.. We are waiting for it to be updated to solve the problem that occurred to him after updating our devices to IOS 15
The most important question: What about tracking the owners of the iPhone?
Does this mean that anyone owns
Is it possible to know where the iPhone is XNUMX hours!?
You did not mention that this feature is limited to the M1 chip only
Unfortunately, there is a loophole that Apple insists not to close, and it is one of the most important loopholes that tempt and make the thief dare to steal Apple devices
Which:
(The ability to lock the device without the password)
If the device would not be locked without the password, we would not need the Bluetooth tracking feature
Then there is another matter, which is as soon as the phone is lost, it was assumed that after the original owner entered his account, there would be a button to issue a sound, such as the sound of a police car, and that it be loud and not be extinguished except with the password, not as is the case with the current system, it makes a weak sound and the thief can silence him by simply pressing any button
I hope someone can write to the company to put forward these suggestions
Also, do not forget the e-SIM feature
Since before, the thief used to remove the SIM card immediately
Now (iPhone 13 mobile) I activated the e-SIM on my device and now even if the device is stolen, the thief will be tracked by the police and via Find iPhone
How does the separation warning feature work?
رائع
Beautiful God bless you
Very beautiful ..
But what if the Apple devices were not at all in the place where your iPhone was lost or stolen, how would you track it?
This is almost impossible because Apple devices are widely spread, especially since you have a very large time to access the device
Do you think that there is no place in the world currently where there is absolutely no IOS device, whether old or new
Personally, I don't think
AirTags is one of the best Apple inventions ever
In ios 14 when you fire a personal point to the other the tick is blue and in ios 15 it is green..
Please add a clarification that this feature is only available for iPhone 1, 14 and XNUMX devices only because of the UXNUMX SIM and not all devices updated to iOS XNUMX
May Allah reward you, this note has been added
Yes, it was clear that it supports devices that contain a U1 chip, such as iPhone 11 or later
Thank you for the article.. Please explain more about the separation warning feature and how to activate it.. Thank you.
magnificence
Is this feature linked to a specific version and does not work on all versions of the iPhone?
Logical questions that the writer must answer, in any case, I will strive and respond according to my knowledge (and God knows): The tracking feature works on iPhone 1 and later devices, as it contains a UXNUMX chip, which sends signals to other nearby devices and from them to Apple servers Thus, the lost device can be tracked
By God, stealing is forbidden, so don't worry about something that is not yours 👀 The important thing is that iOS is amazing and shines every time with a feature 👌 Thanks for the article 😙 You created ❤️
Why is anyone stealing something from his property 😂😂😂😂
Excelente...!!!
Not working on 8+ unfortunately
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
