Both devices need to share same apple id.

On on both devices. And icloud.

Or does it give an error.

They are both using the same apple ID. Everytime I go to use it online, it just says that no device can be detected.

Still keep getting the same messages "No devices. Set up your icloud account on an iphone, ipad, ipod touch or mac to use Find my iPhone" Both are connected to the wifi.

Do we need to have storage and backup turned on in order for it to work?
