Find the party. Find your family. Or find a place to meet up after work. And if you lose your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, iCloud can help you find it, too.
Find My Friends
Your friends mark the spot.
Meet up with friends at an outdoor concert. Keep track of the family during a day on the ski slopes. Or see when your out-of-town guest has finally made it past baggage claim. The Find My Friends app is a great way to share your location with people who are important to you.* Friends who share their location with you appear on a map so you can quickly see where they are and what they’re up to. And since Find My Friends works with Contacts and Maps, you can do things like find the quickest route to a surprise party — and avoid running into the birthday girl — all at once.

Friends for a day.
With Find My Friends, you can choose to temporarily share your location with a group of people. It’s perfect for a weekend camping trip or a day at the amusement park. Share locations for a couple of hours — or a couple of weeks. When the trip is over, the sharing ends, too.
Seek (and hide).
With Find My Friends, you make the rules. A notification appears when you get a new friend request. If you give your friends permission, they can see you. Want a little privacy? Go off the grid with the flip of a switch.
Keep them safe.
Parental restrictions help you manage how your children use Find My Friends. Controls are quick and easy to set up and require a password to override your settings. That way your kids can have fun — and you can make sure they stay safe.
Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac
Start looking here.
Don’t panic. As soon as you realize one of your Apple devices is missing, iCloud can help you figure out where it is.* Just sign in at icloud.com or use the Find My iPhone app on another device to see your missing iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac on a map.

Play a sound. Send a message.
Once you realize you haven’t just misplaced your device at home, Find My iPhone can help you get it back. Play a sound to help get someone’s attention (even if your volume is set to silent). And display a message on its screen so whoever has your device knows how to get it back to you.
Keep what’s private, private.
You keep lots of important information on your Apple device, so you might want to protect its contents until it’s safely back in your hands. Remotely set a passcode lock to keep your information private. Or initiate a remote wipe to delete your personal data and restore your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac to its factory settings.
Get an email when it’s found.
If your device is offline when you try to locate it using Find My iPhone, you can ask to receive an email as soon as it makes a Wi-Fi or 3G connection. Click the email link within the next 24 hours to get a visual of where your device was last located.
