add device to "find my" on a windows desktop

How does my wife add my iPhone 6s Plus as a device at Find My (icloud/find) on her Windows 10 desktop?


Adding her iPhone 6s Plus at Find My on my iMac was simple. Is there a simple way to accomplish the same effect at Find My on a Windows 10 desktop?


Thank you.

iPhone 6s Plus

Hello stefanmaine,


It sounds like you are wanting to add a device to Find My on a Windows computer, right? If you have already added the phone to your account in Find My, you will only be able to add it to one account.


When you set up Find My, it will allow your device to be set up with one account. You can find more information here:


Set up Find My on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac


"How to turn on Find My for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Tap your name, then tap Find My.
  3. If you want friends and family to know where you are, turn on Share My Location.
  4. Tap Find My [device], then turn on Find My [device].
  5. To see your device even when it's offline, turn on Find My network.* 
  6. To have the location of your device sent to Apple when the battery is low, turn on Send Last Location."


Regards.
