#FIND MY IPHONE FROM ANOTHER IPHONE HOW TO#
The Play Sound feature of iCloud Find My iPhone is quite handy, give it a try the next time you think you dropped your iPhone under the bed, stuffed it in the work refrigerator, or buried under a pile of laundry. Here’s how to do it: Open the Settings of your iPhone and tap your name or user profile. That’s a bit on the extreme side though, so remote wipe is really best used when you know for certain a device is gone for good. Going further, if you think you have truly lost the device or it actually was stolen, you can use iCloud and Find My iPhone to remotely wipe any iOS device and prevent the thief (or anyone else) from accessing any of your data or contacts. Of course this is only useful if you’re pretty sure you lost the iPhone somewhere nearby that you can hear it, and that you’ll be able to retrieve again by locating it from the pinging sound effect. This obviously makes it a lot easier to track down a misplaced phone this way, so just follow the sound and look around for it.
