iCloud. With it, you can track your iPhone, iPad, or Mac if it ever gets lost or stolen, lock it to make sure no one else can get into it, play an alert sound to help you find it, and even wipe it remotely if you're sure you won't be getting it back. It also enabled Activation Lock, which stops anyone without your password for using your device if it's ever stolen.</p> <p>To use Find my iPhone all you need is the free app, iCloud.com, and this guide! <!--break--></p> <div id="block-block-78" class="block block-block"> <div class="content"> <ul><li>

As long as you're signed into your iCloud account on all your devices, it's as simple as flipping a switch. After that, you can start tracking any devices linked to your account.</p> <ul><li>

Family Sharing is available on devices running <a href="

Not only can you share purchases with other family members in your household, you can also keep track of each other with Find My iPhone. It works pretty much the same way as tracking your own devices does. As long as the person you'd like to track is a member of your Family Sharing group, you can always track them via Find My iPhone.</p> <ul><li>

This does two things: it allows the new owner to link the device to their own iCloud account without any trouble, and it ensures that they don't have access to any of your information in your iCloud account.</p> <ul><li>

This is the guide you want if you sold your device and the new owner tried restoring and can't get past Activation Lock. Just keep in mind that it doesn't work unless you know the iCloud password for whatever account the device is linked to.</p> <ul><li>
