Q: Find a friends phone

If they have the Find My iPhone function enabled on their device in Settings > iCloud, simply download the Find My iPhone app from the App Store to your iPhone, input their Apple ID & Password when the App opens, and locate the device.

Or, they can use www.icloud.com, sign in with Apple ID & Password, and use the Find My iPhone feature on that website.

There is an app called Find my Friends  You have to have this enabled and so does your friend and both of you have to authorize the other to have the App show your respective locations.  If your friend turns this off, you will not be able to locate him.

Thank you he has find my phone but has forgotten password and thinks the phone is at home so he doesn't want yo reset anything rashly

Okay, that's a different situation. Rojmer's advice only works if you have the device in hand, and also know the Apple ID & Password.

In this case, you still need to use Find My iPhone, but you need to reset the password for the Apple ID, since the password has been forgotten.

How to reset your Apple ID password.

Go to iforgot.apple.com and type in your Apple ID, then click 'Next'.

Verify your date of birth, then click 'Next'.

You'll be able to choose one of two methods to reset your password, either E-Mail Authentication or Answer Security Questions.

If neither method works, then go to https://getsupport.apple.com

(If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')

Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.

A new page will open.

Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.

Click the blue 'Continue' button.

Select the contact option that suits your needs best.

Also, have you tried calling his phone, and listening for the ring/buzz?

Will the other person know if you used find phone app with their pass and ID?
