About this lesson

"Find My" is an Apple service that helps users locate and protect their Apple devices if they're ever lost or stolen. Initially launched as "Find My iPhone" in 2010, the service has since expanded and been rebranded to "Find My," incorporating not just iPhones but also iPads, Macs, Apple Watches, and AirPods. It's a feature deeply integrated into iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS, providing a suite of tools to help users keep track of their devices and personal items.

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.
