Find iPhone: How to find your phone

If you have lost your iPhone, you can easily search for it using iCloud. We'll show you how it's done.

Find iPhone: Find your smartphone

Prerequisite for locating your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is the activation of the "Find my iPhone" option in iCloud and an existing internet connection at the time of the search.

• Via app: You can use the free Find My iPhone app to log in with your Apple ID and password. You will then see all your devices and can view them on a map. You can use the "Action" button to play a sound or message on the device, set a lock code or delete the iPhone.
• In the browser: You can also use the function via your browser on the PC. Open the iCloud.com website and log in with your Apple ID and password. You now have the same options as with the app.
• If the device is not connected to the Internet at this time, the selected option will only be carried out when there is a connection again. Only then can the iPhone be located.

This practical tip shows you how to set up iCloud and thus the "Find my iPhone" option.
