Hi Damo1982,

The resources below explain how to use Find My iPhone, and how to update the location of your iPhone in the app:


iCloud: Locate your device

Go to Find My iPhone on iCloud.com.

  1. Click All Devices. In the list, the dot next to the device indicates its status:

    • A green dot User uploaded file means it’s online. If the device can be located, you also see the time it was last located.

    • A gray dot User uploaded file means it’s offline. If the device was recently online, you also see the time it was last located. If the device has been offline for over 24 hours, you see “Offline.”

  2. Select the device you want to locate.

    • If the device is online and can be located, its approximate location is shown on the map.

      User uploaded file

    • If Find My iPhone can’t locate the device, the last known location is displayed for up to 24 hours. Select “Notify me when found” to get an email when it comes online.

  3. Do any of the following:

    • Update the location: Click the green dot on the map, then click Refresh User uploaded file.

    • Move the map: Drag it.

    • Zoom in: Click the Zoom In button User uploaded file.

    • Zoom out: Click the Zoom Out button User uploaded file.

    • Change the map view: Click the current view, such as Standard, in the bottom-right corner, then click the view you want.

Note: Maps and location information depend on data collection services provided by third parties. These services are subject to change and may not be available in all geographic areas, resulting in inaccurate or incomplete maps or location information.
