How to Track an iPhone With an Android Browser
Find My iPhone is a great tool for locating a missing iOS device. It helps to have another Apple device, but if you don’t have an iOS or Mac computer, use an Android device. Before you can find an iPhone on an Android, you must enable the proper settings ahead of time. Follow these instructions to locate a missing iPhone with any Android browser app.
Log in to iCloud. com with your Apple ID. From the menu, select Find iPhone. Choose the device you want to find. Select one of three options to locate or control the missing device: Play Sound to find the device by an audible signal. Enable Lost Mode to prevent intruders from hacking the device. Erase iPhone/iPad to erase the device’s data remotely. If the browser is in incognito mode, log out of all accounts and close the incognito browser when you finish.
How to Track an iPhone Location With Google Maps
It’s possible to track your iPhone with Google Maps, but success is not guaranteed. A specific setting must be enabled on the iPhone before it goes missing.
Play Sound to find the device by an audible signal. Enable Lost Mode to prevent intruders from hacking the device. Erase iPhone/iPad to erase the device’s data remotely.
With Google Maps location access enabled on the missing device, open a web browser on the Android device and log into your Google Maps Timeline. Select the date your phone went missing and review your travel routes and visited locations. If you took photos on that date, the images appear in the timeline and indicate where you were the last time you used the device.
How to Track an iPhone With a GPS Tracking App
Using one of the best phone tracker apps with GPS is also a good tool for locating a lost or stolen iPhone. However, the app must be installed before the phone goes missing.
To be safe, use a GPS tracking app compatible with both iOS and Android, such as Life 360. Have a friend with an Android device install the same app and use the app on your phone to locate your phone if it’s lost. Alternatively, log into your Life360 account from an incognito browser on an Android device to track your phone. Other tracking apps work similarly.
