Hello. If my find my iPhone isn’t set up on my list device, however, I share the same iCloud with another device. Is there anyway I can find it? Is there anything the apple company can do to assist?

Troubleshooting a Lost iPhone:


I. Secure your Account:

Having Been Lost, Do Two Things:


A. Verify Your Devices:

Verify that your the devices logged in to your account or officially yours, by using this link: Check your Apple ID Device List to See where you're Signed in - Apple Support


B. Consider Modifying your Credentials:

Having been lost, someone likey has your credentials. So, by all means, consider modifying them, starting with a new password.


II.Locating This:

Whoops!

Troubleshooting a Lost iPhone


Find My can only be enabled directly on the iPhone. It cannot be enabled elsewhere. So, is it enabled on the iPhone? IF not, you'd have to do so the olde fashioned way: Backtrack your location.


So, what to Try:

  • Dial it: See if it is heard ringing


  • Ask Local Authorities: See if it has be hanged over.


  • Text It: Ask whomever has come across it, to contact you.


  • Ask Someone: See if someone you know (i.e. Friend, or Family Member) if that came across it.


  • Backtrack your Locations: If you are at a coffee shop, or a library, stop by and see if it was safely placed aside.
