To find a lost iPhone, open the Find My app on another Apple device or sign in at iCloud.com.

It helps to understand what's happening under the hood, because it changes how you react.

1. Turn On Find My iPhone (Do This First)

This is the feature everything else depends on.

2. Locate It on a Map via iCloud

3. View the Last Known Location

If the phone is offline or dead, Find My still shows where it was last seen.
