#findmyiphone — Public Fediverse posts

@thesquirrelfish Now that I have an #AppleWatch the #FindMyiPhone app gets steady use. I’m gradually realizing that the reason I misplace the phone so often is that I get absorbed in a task while holding it and I lay it down wherever I am when that happens. Sewing #pockets into every garment I have is a helpful strategy, but doesn’t prevent losses.

Pre-Upgrade Protocols: Disabling Security Gates

Learn why disabling Find My on your Apple device is crucial before selling or resetting it to avoid Activation Lock issues. Affected users can lose device access.

Apple devices can become unusable if 'Find My' is not turned off before selling or resetting. This is a critical step to avoid Activation Lock.

"The officers were looking for a stolen cellphone that was believed to be inside a stolen truck along with several guns. The owner of the stolen truck told police he’d used Apple’s Find My iPhone app and that the app showed the missing iPhone twice pinged near the intersection where Johnson lived on Jan. 3, 2022.. The officers found nothing. Johnson had nothing to do with the stolen goods, the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado said in a news release Monday." #FindMyIphone #Oops

Oh, I don't spend that kind of money on bicycles! Of course, a tile would have been handy, if I'd been able to stick one on. Still, #FindMyIPhone just helped me watch my stolen phone move around the city and toward another province.

Haha, for me, it's my phone or my reading glasses. I've learned to be extremely creative in my searches. Also, I have #FindMyiPhone!

@barbarakb I had my laptop and immediately activated #FindMyiPhone. It was offline, other than for a minute or so, in another location. I can't really blame desperate people for doing desperate things but it's a huge expense and inconvenience for me. I got a replacement SIM because I have a couple of older phones. It doesn't fit the older phone and the SIM slot is missing from the newer one so I feel very vulnerable, living a device-free life until I can get into the Apple Store in the morning.
