Monthly checklist

Every month follow these tips to ensure your Apple Find My Device is being used as intended by you.

  • Your Apple ID is central to the security of your Apple devices and services, including Find My. Use a strong, unique password and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to add an extra layer of security.

  • Regularly Check Which Devices Are Linked: Periodically review the devices connected to your Apple ID to ensure there are no unknown devices. Remove any devices you no longer own or use.

  • Be Cautious with Location Sharing: Find My allows you to share your location with friends and family. Only share your location with people you trust, and periodically review who has access to your location information.
