 There is nothing more hurting than losing your Apple device. As you all are well aware of the expensive Apple devices such as iPhone, iPad, and Mac, it is essential to keep your devices safe. Have you lost your Apple device? Well, there is still a chance to find it before starting to panic. Using ‘Find My’ service can instantly locate your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Not only this, but AirPods can also be tracked.

The ‘Find My’ application was introduced by Apple long before, built for finding your lost or stolen devices. It enables you to locate the last active location of the device and find the same. A lot of people own only one Apple device. Thus, the question arises how is it possible to track your Apple device on a non-Apple device? This is exactly where iCloud comes handy that can be accessed on any web browser.

Below is a guide on tracking your Apple device on other devices using iCloud, so let’s get started!

Note: Before starting the process, you need to know that you’ll only be able to locate your Apple device if the ‘Find My’ service is enabled. 

The steps to locate a lost iPhone, iPad, and Mac using iCloud on the web browser are:

• Go to any web browser like Mozilla, Chrome, etc, on any device.
• Search for ‘iCloud.com’ in the address bar of the web browser.
• An iCloud login window will open. Enter your Apple ID and Password and click on the ‘Arrow’ icon to continue.

• Enter your Apple account password when prompted.
• Tap on the ‘Sign In’ option.
• A map will appear in the next window. Click on the drop-down menu for ‘All devices.’
• A list of your Apple devices will open. Select the device you want to locate.
• You can choose between three options to locate your Apple device:
• Select the ‘Play Sound’ option if you think that your device is nearby.
• Select ‘Erase iPhone’ to delete all the data on your phone.
• Select ‘Lost Mode’ to force lock your device so that nobody invades your privacy. It also enables you to enter your phone number and enter a message that’ll flash on your lost device’s screen.

This is it! Following the steps mentioned above will help you locate your iPhone, iPad, and Mac within a few minutes.

The ‘Find My’ app records the last active location of your Apple device. Therefore, if someone turns off your device, the location that you’ve tracked might not be accurate.
