Troubleshooting a Lost iPhone:


For Find 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.
