1. How to locate

You can track it down by using Apple’s Find My app from the iCloud website, any of your other Apple devices, or those registered to someone in your family. Or remotely erase all the data on it from the Find My app. With iO5 15, you can also hunt down your phone up to 24 hours after the battery is depleted or the device is turned off.

Locate a Lost Device From the iCloud Website 

For those who do not have access to any other device, you can visit your iCloud website to find your phone. Open iCloud.com in a web browser and sign in with your Apple ID and password. Click Find iPhone, then open the All Devices drop-down menu and select your iPhone.

Play Sounds and Get Directions

Once your device has been selected on the map, you can then select from a few different options. Tap Play Sound, and your iPhone emits a pinging, sonar-sounding noise to help you find it. A notice also appears on the screen for a Find My iPhone Alert. Tap Directions to get driving or walking directions to the device's location.
