It's as easy as following these steps:</p> <ol><li>Go to <a href="htp://www.icloud.com">iCloud.com[/url] in any web browser. </li> <li>Log into your iCloud account.</li> <li>Click on <strong>Find my iPhone</strong> in the main menu. </li> <li>Click on <strong>All Devices</strong> at the top. </li> <li>Click the <strong>device name</strong> for the device you'd like to track. </li> <li>You can zoom in and out on the map to track it more closely, or you can choose from one of the modes listed in the upper right. Here is an explanation of what each does:</li> </ol><ul><li><strong>Play sound</strong> - Plays an audible tone, even if your device is on vibrate or silent. This is the option you'll want to use if your iPhone or iPad has gone missing around the house. </li> <li><strong>Lost mode</strong> - If you use this option, you'll be asked to enter a phone number that will display on the screen of your lost device. Someone can then use this number to call if they find the device. An audible tone will also be played to draw attention to the device. </li> <li><strong>Erase</strong> - If you don't think you're going to be able to retrieve the device, or you're worried about someone accessing your private data, you can remotely delete everything on it in order to protect your information.</li> </ul><p><a href='

Keep in mind that if you think your device was stolen, but you're able to track it, it's always best to get local law enforcement involved rather than trying to retrieve a stolen device on your own.</p> <p>It's also worth mentioning that if you were using Apple Pay on the device that was lost or stolen, it's a good idea to remotely wipe your credit card information via iCloud on the web. If you aren't sure how, you can follow our guide:</p> <ul><li>
