Use Find My to locate people, devices, and items

Set up Find My

If you want to use Find My to locate friends, devices, and items, you need to set it up first.

You need to share your location with your friends and family before you can ask to see their locations on a map. And if you add your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods, Beats headphones, AirTag, or third-party item to Find My, you can use the Find My app to locate it if it ever goes missing.

See Set up Find My on all your devices.

Locate people, devices, and items

You can use the Find My app to locate friends, Apple devices, AirTags, or third-party items. Find My is available on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, and Find Devices is available on iCloud.com.

See What you can locate with Find My on each device.

Remove devices and items from Find My

Before you sell or give away a device or item, make sure to turn off Find My on your device or unregister your AirTag or third-party item from your Apple Account. This way, the new owner can set up the device or item and use it with the Find My app.
