2. Track iPhone Location With Google Maps

Google Map could be a helping hand for solving the issue. You can track your iPhone from Google Map Timeline.

But the success depends on your lost iPhone. Because Google Maps should be installed and the location must be enabled in the iPhone otherwise the method is not workable.

If Google Map and Location is enabled in your lost iPhone you should follow the instructions that I describe below.

The method is divided into two parts. First you should activate the settings in Google Map and then find the location of your iPhone.

Here are the steps of activate the settings:

Enter in your Google Maps and select your Profile Picture at the top right corner.
Click on Settings from the menu list.

Enter the Browser of your Android device.
Now go to Google Maps Timeline and Sign in to it.
Select the exact date of your iPhone missing and review the locations and routes that you visited.
Check the photos that appear in your timeline to guess the location where you used the phone for the last time.

3. Track iPhone with GPS Tracking Apps

You can also track your lost iPhone with the help of a GPS Tracking app. But the GPS Tracking App must be installed in your iPhone before you lose it.

One more thing, you must use a tracking app that supports both Android and iOS.

If there is a common tracking app installed in the lost iPhone then follow the steps below to track the iPhone.

Here are the steps of tracking your iPhone by a GPS tracking app:

Log in to the GPS Tracking App by an incognito tab from an Android Browser.
Find the location of your iPhone.

When you log out from your account the data is not saved.

Life 360 is one of the popular GPS tracking apps. It is compatible with both Android and iOS and it is user friendly and reliable to use.

Not only the GPS tracking app there are some other apps that could help you to track your lost iPhone.

Family Orbit & Cocospy are two of them.

These all are the methods of tracking the iPhone if it is lost or stolen. But what if the phone just fell from your pocket for your negligence.

Don’t worry, just make a call to your iPhone from a device and someone should pick the phone?

Use Whatsapp, Messenger and other social media platforms to make the call.

Summary

All over the post, I try to elaborate the possible ways that can help you to find your lost iPhone. But one thing that is prominent for every method is that your iPhone must have enabled some settings or installed some apps.

Therefore, when you go out for a long walk, there is a possibility of losing your phone. So always make necessary adjustments before you go out. Because prevention is always better than cure.
