Find My lets you view the location of your Apple devices, locate items you’ve attached AirTag to, keep track of Find My network accessories, and share your location with friends and family in a single, easy-to-use app.
Features
View the location of your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, AirPods, devices in your Family Sharing group, AirTag, or Find My network accessories on a map, and get directions to their locations in Apple Maps.
When you can’t find your nearby device, AirTag, or Find My network accessory, play a sound to pinpoint its location. Get the distance and direction to your AirTag or AirPods Pro 2 with Precision Finding.
Keep track of personal items with AirTag and Find My network accessories and share these items with up to five other people. Everyone in the group can use Precision Finding to pinpoint the location of a shared AirTag when nearby.
If your missing device, AirTag, or compatible third-party accessory isn’t nearby, the Find My app can still help you track it down using the Find My network. It’s all anonymous and encrypted to protect everyone’s privacy.
If you lose an item, you can temporarily share its location with others — including airlines — to help you find it. Simply share item location in the Find My app. Sharing automatically stops when you are reunited with your item and expires after seven days. Share Item Location recipients can open shared links directly in the Find My app to play sound and, on supported devices, use Precision Finding to location lost items when nearby.
Put your Apple devices in lost mode to lock the screen and display a message, or erase them remotely to protect your data. AirTag and Find My network accessories can also display your contact information to anyone who finds them.
Use the People tab to share location with friends and family so you can keep in touch, coordinate, or know when a family member has arrived home safely.
Meeting up with people in-person is now easier too. With iPhone 15 or later, you can use Precision Finding for directions that lead you right up to the person you’re looking for, whether at a park, a restaurant, or even a music festival.
If you’re on an adventure without cell service or Wi‑Fi, you can use Find My on iPhone 14 or later to share your location over satellite.
On Apple Watch, use the Find Devices app to view the current location of your Apple devices, Find Items to keep track of AirTag and Find My network accessories, and Find People to share your location with friends and family members.

It was January 31st 2023 when I lost my AirPods. I was in school and I had my AirPods charging in a teachers classroom. It was the end of the day and I was on the bus. I instantly realized that I left my AirPods in the classroom. I let the teacher know through an email as soon as I realized. I come back the next day to find it missing and not on charge. I asked the teacher did she ever see it and she told me she didn’t. I searched around the entire school, hoping I get a connection using the “Find My iPhone” App, but I couldn’t. Everyday, I searched and tried to get a connection but failed. The administrators and teachers tried to help but they were not successful. I just lost hope because it’s been weeks and I still couldn’t find them. I payed towards $200 for those. After school ended and it was summer break, I got my first job and I had to remake the $200 for buying new AirPods. On July 21st 2023 is when I had enough money and bought them. Right now as I’m typing this, I’m still trying to figure out how my AirPods suddenly vanished. The Find My IPhone app showed it was still in the school building at the same location for months but it was nowhere to be found. I’m grateful that I found a job and was able to come up with the money to buy new ones. I love listening to music and I also love the noise cancellation feature. The Moral of this story is “Keep up with your belongings, because you will never know if you’ll loose it or see it again.”
Works. Better than nothing.

This app works well if you need it to find your gps tags and other devices. The con of this app is it requires cell service to work. No really it does. No wifi option. In all the years of apple this will not detect your gps device location on wifi. Some people live, work or travel in places that have poor cell service they rely more on internet instead of cell service. I love the gps tags but at a cost of privacy rights. My tags can give me quite the scare some times when it gpa drifts ow wifi pings to a much further location out of the blue. This has happened more than once when I walked away from my car. It keeps traveling up the road then stops. This makes you think your car was stolen when in reality it wasn’t. This glitch drives me crazy with worry when you shouldn’t have to worry. Ie its giving false tag data. Didn’t someone sue apple over this a long time ago because people thought their stolen phones were in his home and he didn’t have a single apple product. Well… this glitch makes you think twice where your devices are.The more I am paying attention to my devices I am noticing how much gps drift this thing has. It isn’t great. When i walk away from my car it does not register exactly where i left it. Google maps does better. I am annoyed with the constant notification from this app with no way to disable them. Yes i know i walked away from my car. No i don’t need to be repetitively reminded. I am opening up and disabling the chirp ad it is annoying. I also like to know where the car is when family members borrow it. I use one for my pets and i don’t want them startled when it goes off.
I lost my Mac today outside in the intersection

This app let me know where my Mac was. It fell off the top of my car because I forgot I placed it there, I was getting my daughter in the car seat. Didn’t realize until an hour later on the way to my therapist appointment that my laptop was not in the car. I was freaking out , $2,000 laptop gone! It led me to where I took my turn down a street at a stop light, it was laying in the grass. The momentum of the car flew the laptop across the intersection. Only had a chip on the corner of the laptop. I was able to track the location down to the area perimeter. The “ring” to the device was no help in that situation -cause of the loud traffic. But the map helped me find it. I was about to just file a police report. But it was spotted near a sidewalk in the grass near the stoplight. I had a case on it at the time and it was inside a laptop sleeve. It was very hot. When I got home it was able to cool down then when I logged in…The app shut down the device and I had to go thru security question and login in from other apple devices I had tied to my account to get access into the computer. Thank you so much Apple for this! Saved my personal information and me from having to dish out more money for a new laptop. I had no insurance on it ..as it was a pay to own device from a third party seller.

I recommend this app even if you think it’s an app which takes storage or even might not be needed I think someday it will go to use for you not many but I really want to consider how thankful this app change the fact someone stole 3 Air Pods and money from a locker in my school. My air pod pros were connected to this app and it helped save my life it showed me the direction the distance and the address of who stole my air pod pros. The fact that it manage to track the place where it was taken and letting me disable them which allowed my air pod pros to not connect to their Bluetooth and device made a big difference and help for me. The information on this app allowed me to ask people around if they knew this place and I found someone who knew who lived there I won’t go into details but the help of the school and cops I manage to get a name and as suspicions goes on and the details the app gave me the place it showed me and how long ago my air pod pros were connected to this app made me feel relief and knowing that getting these type of information can make things the best case because in the end I got my air pod pros and I manage to help some other people out because theirs were stolen.
