    Ffind my iPhone should connect to your iPhone, ask it for its location information, and display that information.

    Find My iPhone, Find My Mac, Find My (device) is device specific. When you are logged into iCloud, you can access the Find My (device) app and each individual device will create its own unique map.

    Hi

     

    After you have logged in to iCloud.com, open the Find iPhone app.

     

    Once the app has opened, a dropdown menu at the centre-top of the screen enables you to choose what is shown on the map.

     

    You can choose to view All Devices at once or just an individual device from the list.

     

    When viewing All Devices, keep in mind that, if multiple devices are in the same location, there may appear to be only a single marker on the map, whereas in fact multiple markers are stacked on top of one another.
