Find My or Find My iPhone is Apple’s very own device tracking service. It’s mainly used to locate, lock, or erase a lost or misplaced Apple device including the newest iPhone 14 series and supported accessories.

In order to make the device tracking possible, the Find My app has to be enabled on the missing device beforehand. That said, this should be deemed among the first features to activate on your newly purchased iOS device.

Depicted below is a step-by-step walkthrough on how to access and activate this feature on the new iPhone 14 smartphone. Feel free to refer to this guide whenever you need help.

  1. To begin, launch the iOS Settings app on your iPhone.

How does the Find My app work?

To check and see how it works, try to locate your iPhone 14 using the Find My app on your other iPhone, iPad or Mac and see if it works.

Normally, the current or last known location of your device will be shown on a map in the Find My app.

You then can try playing a sound, send a message or issue a lock request with the Find My app. If you suspect that your device is stolen and you don’t want anyone to get access to your important files, you can use the Find My app to erase your device remotely.

If for some reason doesn’t appear on the map, verify and ensure that you’re signed in with the same iCloud account as the one with your iPhone 14. When finding your misplaced or lost iPhone 14 via Find My iPhone website, make sure that you’re using the same Apple ID with that on your iPhone. Otherwise, your iPhone 14 won’t be displayed.

And that’s it! Your iPhone 14 is now all set to be traced using the Find My app on your other Apple devices whenever you’ll have it misplaced or lost.
