Set up your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or Apple Watch

To set up Find My on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or Apple Watch, sign in to the device with your Apple ID, turn on location sharing, and turn on Find My [device]. You need to set up Find My before the device is lost.

When you set up your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or Apple Watch, Activation Lock is turned on to help protect your device. You can use Find My to see the device's location on a map, play a sound on the device, turn on Lost Mode, and even erase the device remotely.

Set up your AirPods or Beats headphones

If you pair your AirPods or Beats headphones with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, they show up in your Devices list in the Find My app. You can use Find My to locate or play a sound on them. If your AirPods support the Find My network, you can also mark them as lost.

Set up iPhone Leather Wallet with Find My support

If your iPhone Leather Wallet has Find My support, you can connect it to your Apple ID so you can see its last known location in the Find My app. You can also mark it as lost.

For setup instructions, see Add your iPhone Leather Wallet to Find My on iPhone in the iPhone User Guide.

Set up a family member's device

If you're part of a Family Sharing group, you can use Find My to help find and protect any family member's device. Their devices appear below yours in the Devices list in Find My.

Each family member must set up their devices to share their locations with other family members. See the Apple Support article Share your location with your family.

You can't add friends' devices to your Devices list. Friends who lose a device can go to icloud.com/find and sign in with their Apple ID.
