Use Find My on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Find My Friends and Find My iPhone
have been combined into a single app—Find My
—available on iOS 13, iPadOS 13, or later. Find My helps you locate your friends and Apple devices using information stored in iCloud.
Note: If you have iOS 12 or earlier, you’ll still see the Find My iPhone and Find My Friends apps. Find the software version of your device.
First, set up Find My by sharing your location and adding your devices. Then, learn what you can do in the app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Find people
Share your location: You can share your location from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Once you start sharing your location, you can stop and start sharing again at any time.
Locate a friend: Add friends to see their location on a map. You can also get directions to a friend’s location and contact them from the Find My app.
Set location notifications: Manage location notifications using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Automatically send notifications to friends when you arrive at or leave a specific location. Get notifications when your friends leave and arrive, too.
Learn how. See the “Find people” section of the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch user guides.
Find devices
Locate a device: See the location of your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, Apple Watch, or AirPods on a map. Play a sound on a device to help you find it.
Mark a device as lost: If you lose a device, you can use your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to mark it as lost and help protect your personal information. Display a custom message on the lost device’s screen, telling people that the device is lost or how to find you. Once you find the device, you can turn off Lost Mode.
Erase a device: Remotely erase all of your personal information on a device from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Activation Lock remains on to protect it.
Remove a device from your account: If you’re no longer using a device, or you sold it or gave it away, remove it from your account so it doesn’t appear in Find My.
Learn how. See the “Find devices” section of the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch user guides.
