Add a device to Find My on iPad
Before you can use the Find My app to locate a lost iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, or AirPods, you need to connect the device to your Apple ID.
For your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac (with macOS 10.15 or later), and Apple Watch, Find My also includes a feature called Activation Lock that prevents anyone else from activating and using your device, even if it’s completely erased. See the Apple Support articles Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, About Activation Lock on your Mac, and About Activation Lock on your Apple Watch.
Add an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
For a device with iOS 13, iPadOS 13, or later, follow the instructions below. For a device with iOS 12 or earlier, see the Apple Support article Set up Find My iPhone on all of your devices.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings
> [your name] > Find My.
If you’re asked to sign in, enter your Apple ID. If you don’t have one, tap “Don’t have an Apple ID or forgot it?” then follow the instructions.
Tap Find My [device], then turn on Find My [device].
Turn on any of the following:
Find My network or Enable Offline Finding: If your device is offline (not connected to Wi-Fi or cellular), Find My can locate it using the Find My network.
Send Last Location: If your device’s battery charge level becomes critically low, its location is sent to Apple automatically.
Add a Mac
On your Mac, choose Apple menu
> System Preferences.
Do one of the following:
With macOS 10.15 or later: Click Apple ID, then click iCloud.
With macOS 10.14 or earlier: Click iCloud.
If you’re asked to sign in, enter your Apple ID. If you don’t have one, click “Don’t have an Apple ID or forgot it?” then follow the instructions.
Select Find My Mac, then click Allow.
When you select Find My Mac on a Mac with macOS 10.15 or later, the Find My network is turned on. With the Find My network, you can locate your Mac using Bluetooth when your Mac isn’t connected to Wi-Fi. To turn off this option, click Options, then click Turn Off next to Find My network (or Offline Finding.)
Add Apple Watch or AirPods
Apple Watch: Pair your watch with an iPhone that you’re signed in on with your Apple ID, or set up a watch for a family member. See the Apple Watch User Guide.
AirPods: Pair your AirPods with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch on which you’re signed in with your Apple ID. See Set up AirPods with iPad.
Add a family member’s device
You can see your family members’ devices in Find My if you set up Family Sharing first. Their devices appear below yours in the Devices list. See Locate a family member’s missing device on iPad.
You can’t add friends’ devices to Find My. Friends who lose a device can go to icloud.com/find and sign in with their Apple ID.
