How to configure the Find My iPhone feature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While it is usual that we have configured the Find network on our iPhone, iPad or Mac during the initial setup, it is always good to check that everything is in order. To start, let’s make sure our device is updated to the latest available version of its operating system<\/strong>, which we’ll do in Settings > General > Software Update<\/em>. Next let’s check that we are logged in with our Apple account. Then the steps to follow are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. We open the Settings<\/em> app on our iPhone or iPad.<\/li>
  2. At the top, we touch our name.<\/li>
  3. Go to Search<\/em>.<\/li>
  4. Tap on Find my iPhone\/iPad<\/em>.<\/li>
  5. We activate Find My iPhone\/iPad, Search Network<\/em> and also Send Last Location<\/em>, what the device when the battery level is very low.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
