For Mind My, Go Here: Use the Find My App to Locate a Missing Device or Item - Apple Support


What Else to Try:


  • Backtrack your Locations:

If you were at a retail store or local cafe', then stop by and see if if was placed aside by the store manager. You never know.


  • Call the Number:

Dial the iPhone itself; you might hear it ring in the other room..


  • Text the iPhone a Message:

If you cannot find this, then text the iPhone, sending it a messages asking whomever finds it to contact you. Perhaps, have them eMail you, putting a particular title in it (so that you recognize the eMail.

If you go to pick it up from an individual, then have someone there 

with you, probably meeting them at a public, safe location, both for 

safety purposes.


  • Also, Contact Local Authorities:

Perhaps someone is respective enough to have turned-around handed it over to local authorities. See if they have found it.

This is a user to user only forum. No one here can search for your phone by any means. And Apple does NOT get involved in lost or stolen goods anyway. muguy provided the right link for you to try to find your phone, but in order for it to be tracked ALL of the following must true:


  1. You enabled Find My before the phone was stolen
  2. The phone is powered on
  3. The phone is connected to a network


If any one of the above are not true, you can't track the phone.
