Hello Bethmartineza!


You can follow the instructions here: Use the Find My app to locate a missing device or item - Apple Support.


Another good method is to slowly walk up and down the yard in the pattern portrayed below:



Have a nice day, and good luck!

..Bethmartineza..

Perhaps if your iPhone and you had a falling-out or disagreement,

or had not been on good terms; he may be hiding in tall grasses?

Or in piles of twigs, or pulled weeds?


Sometimes my iPhone will 'shout out' if I get too close to him

when I run the power mower. That works out OK; if that's so.


However you need be concerned if using power equipment,

and left the phone out in the yard to play; as they've almost

no sense at all; and may idle hours away, or get wet in rains.


Undesired outcomes include some odd or different noises, in

the grass ejection chute; if your mower finds the iPhone first.


A pet dog or cat may be helpful to locate misplaced devices.

..A dog might carry it around; kitty may dig a hole & bury it..


~Should the battery fail to power iPhone sufficiently to allow

Find My to function, usual search patterns may yield results.


IF a drone with infrared spectrum is used, it might help find

an iPhone if he had a temperature, when lost in wilderness.

..Hopefully your search will be a success, in any event..
