How To Turn On Find My Iphone From Another Iphone

Locate a device in Find My on iPhone

Use the Find My app to locate and play a sound on a missing iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods, or Beats headphones (supported models). In order to locate a device, you must turn on Find My [device] before it's lost.

If you lose your iPhone and don't have access to the Find My app, you can locate or play a sound on your device using Find My iPhone on iCloud.com.

The Find My screen open to the Devices list. There are three devices in the Devices list: Danny's iPhone, Danny's iPod touch, and Danny's iPad. Their locations are shown on a map of San Francisco.

About locating a device

You can use Find My on your iPhone to see the location of your device on a map and play a sound on it to help you find it. If the device is online, you see the location of the device. If the device is offline, you see the location of the device the last time it went online or connected to the Find My network.
For AirPods and supported Beats headphones, you can locate them when they're nearby your device and connected to Bluetooth. For supported AirPods, you can also see their location via the Find My network for up to 24 hours after they last connected to your device, even if they're not nearby.
For iPhone Leather Wallet with Find My support, you can see its location when it's attached to your iPhone and its last known location if it detaches from your iPhone.
