Apple’s Find My tool is a helpful way to keep track of your device. It can help you find it if you lose it, keep it safe from other people, and store your data.
With Find My, you can see where your device is on a map, make it play a sound so you can find it, lock it so no one else can use it, and erase all the data if you need to. Activation Lock helps keep your device safe by preventing it from being used if it falls into someone else’s hands, and iCloud lets you store and access your data from any Apple device you own.
Find My works with iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, iPod Touch, and Mac.
Below you will find articles that show you how to set up, use, configure, and fix any issues with Find My.
