How to set up ‘Find My’ in iOS

Public Service Announcement

All iOS devices have an app called Find My which allows a user to find another iOS device as long as it is connected to a cellular or WiFi network and is an included feature with iCloud.

It can come in handy for when you loose a device, get it stolen, or even keeping track of a loved one as long as they have an iOS device on their person.

Here’s how to set it up:

• Get the device that you wish to set up Find My on.
• Go to Settings > Tap your iCloud Name > Select the Find My option.
• Select the Find My iPhone option.
• Flip the Find My iPhone option to ON.
• Go back ONE screen.
• Turn the Share My Location option to ON.
• Go back TWO screens.
• Exit Settings.

Now login to iCloud, select the Find My icon, and you should be able to see the device on the map.  If not, try the above steps again.
