To help someone else find their lost iPhone using Find My, follow these steps:


1. Ask them to sign in to iCloud.com/find on a Mac or PC using their Apple ID.

2. Click on ‘All Devices’.

3. Click on the device that needs to be located.


If the iPhone is online, its location will appear on a map. If the device is offline, its last known location will be shown, newer models can sometimes show their location even when powered off.


However, if you are trying to find the iPhone without the owner’s Apple ID and password, you cannot do this due to privacy and security reasons. It’s important to respect privacy rights and always gain permission from the owner.
