How To Use Find My Iphone To Locate Lost Or Stolen Iphone by OwillyOscar(m): 12:53pm On Aug 15, 2014
What You Need:

A web-connected computer or device
An iOS device
To have enabled Find My iPhone before the device was lost
An iCloud account


1. If Find My iPhone is enabled on your missing device

You can use Find My iPhone to locate your device and take additional actions that can help you recover it and keep your data secure. Sign in to icloud.com/find on a PC, Mac or use the Find My iPhone app on another iOS device.

Turn on Lost Mode. Using Lost Mode, you can remotely lock your device with a four-digit passcode, display a custom message with your phone number on your missing device's Lock screen, and keep track of your device's location.
Locate your device. Open Find My iPhone, and select a device to view its location on a map. If the device is nearby, you can have it play a sound to help you or someone nearby find it.

To prevent anyone else from accessing the data on your missing device, you can erase it remotely. When you erase your device, all of your information will be deleted from the device, and you won't be able to locate it using Find My iPhone. After you erase a device, you can't track it. If you remove the device from your account after you erase it, Activation Lock will be turned off. This allows another person to activate and use your device.

Report your lost or stolen device to the local law enforcement. Don't forget that the law enforcement might request the serial number of your device. Find your serial number:
On the original box or receipt
On My Support Profile if you registered your device with your Apple ID


2. Find My iPhone using the web-based tool

1. Log in using the account you used when setting up Find My iPhone. This is likely your Apple ID/iTunes account.

2. Find My iPhone will immediately begin trying to pinpoint your device. You'll see onscreen messages as it works. If the device is turned off, the map will display its last known location. When it's turned back on, the map will update. If it finds your device, it will zoom in on the map and show the location of the device using a green dot. When this happens, you can zoom in or out of the map, and view it in map, satellite, and hybrid modes, like in Google Maps.

3. When your device must have be found, a window will pop up over the green dot. Click the window and you'll see the various options you have.
The first option is to have it play a sound. Sending a sound to the device is best when you think you've misplaced your device in the house or office and want help finding it. You can simply do this by clicking Play Sound.

4. If you have more than one device configured to use Find My iPhone with this account, you'll see a menu called Devices in the top left corner. Click that to see a list of all devices available to be found.

If you've misplaced your device, use Find My iPhone to locate your device on a map and set up a passcode so that only you can use it again. You can even mark an iOS device as lost or stolen, which means that anyone who finds it will be asked to call the number you provide and also track iphone location with mobile phone tracker online free with location through Spylix there. You can track your iPhone using Find My iPhone. It's free, easy and there is no additional charge for the service.
