How to Find Your iPhone With Your Apple Watch
See the location of your missing device on a map
The Find Devices app can show you the location of your device as long as it is online. However, for some supported devices, the Find Devices app can find the device even if it’s turned off, in Low Power Mode, or in airplane mode.
Here’s how to see the location of your missing device:
- Launch the Find Devices app on your Apple Watch, then select a device.
- If your device can be found, it will appear on the map and you can see its location. You will also see its approximate distance, the last time it was connected to the internet, together with its charge level. All these will appear above the map. Below the map, you will see its approximate location.
- If the device can’t be located, you’ll see “No location” under the device’s name. To get notified when it’s found, turn on Notify When Found under Notifications.
