HT4993 If someone is location my phone with the "find my iphone" feature, can I see on my phone if someones tracking my phone?

I think my bf is using the find my phone app to track me and i wanted to know if there was a way to see if he is tracking me on my phone???

Also, if you go to Settings>Privacy>Location Services>Find My iPhone (at the bottom), you will see purple arrow to the right of Find My iPhone is someone has recently tracked your phone, and a gray arrow if this has happened in the last 24 hours.  (You can go to icloud.com on your computer and track it yourself to see what this looks like on your phone.)

  • Can family members added as part of the Family Share feature of iOS 8 really erase other family members devices with the Find My iPhone feature?

    I initiated a Chat session with Apple Support to see if this was really possible.  The answer I got was that it DID seem possible at this time.  If this is true, then Apple may want to look at giving the sharing device the option to disallow other family members from erasing that device remotely (or playing sound, entering lost mode).
    I would be comfortable allowing my wife to lock my iphone or erase it remotely if needed, but I would not want any of my kids to have that ability.
    Can somebody else confirm this could be done?

    Good day,

    Just tested this.  You have to enter the Apple ID Password for the device you are trying to remote erase.  You CAN put the device in lost mode without the password, but you cannot initiate a remote wipe without the password for the device.

  • HT5621 What do you do when you've lost access to your e-mail and your apple ID and have no way to reset them? (with the find my iPhone feature enabled)

    Hi
    I've lost access to my e-mail and my apple ID. No way to reset them. It's a hotmail email address and Microsoft is refusing to reset it even after I provided all the necessary proof of ownership.
    2 problems:
    I can't switch to a new apple id and loose all my purchased apps
    I can't switch to a new apple id as I'm being asked for the password of my current apple id - to disable the 'find my iPhone'-feature
    How do I proceed as my device is virtually unusable as is ..
    Many thanks

    This is a user to user community, Apple are unlikely to read your comments, if you have any suggestions that you think might enhance iCloud you can send Apple your feedback here.
    We also can't speculate on what exactly iOS 7's new security features will actually do, all that's available is what has been said so far by Apple, anyone using a developer version is forbidden to discuss it anywhere but in the developers community.

  • Can someone explain what is the benefit of the Find My iPhone feature?

    I've upgraded my iPhone 4 to the next OS and it comes with the Find My iPhone feature. It took me a while to set it up, but it's OK, especially when it's free for those lucky iPhone 4 users. But now the question I have, what is the benefit of this feature? (Well besides spying on your girlfriend or wife) I mean, if someone steals my iPhone all they need to do is to delete the mobile me account, or better, turn this feature off. It's not even password protected. Maybe I'm just not getting something???

    Obviously once my phone is lost I'm going to change my password on my emails right away and call AT&T to freeze my account.
    You are assuming that you will know your phone is lost or stolen the instant it happens. Don't be so naive. Unless your iPhone is glued to your forehead it could be hours or maybe the next morning before you realize it's gone.
    This is not where you should store that stuff.
    Who are you to say what people should or shouldn't store on their smartphone? Above you admit you're not even aware of Apps that can store data (credit cards for instance) as securely as the banks and websites you use them at.
    Apple's approach to encryption is mostly based on "security by obscurity", or, "our operating systems don't get hacked often... and thus we're safe." But this is VERY wrong!
    Actually, you're wrong and clearly know very little about security PERIOD. Anyone who doesn't use even the basic security built-in to any device simply because it is an "inconvenience" almost deserves to have their identity stolen.
    Educate yourself a little on some of Apple's iPhone security measures by reading: http://images.apple.com/iphone/business/docs/iPhone_Security.pdf
    No device is immune to the most determined hackers but to say Apple's approach is mostly "security by obscurity" just highlights how little you know about such things.

  • HT204266 How do I retrieve a lost iphone with the Find My Iphone app?

    How do I retrieve a lost iphone with the Find My Iphone app?
    I got my iphone stolen right out of my bag and I am assuming there is no way of retrieving the phone back unless I have the Find My Iphone app? I am hoping someone could prove me wrong or give me another solution to getting it back. I have a lot of photos, videos and memories in that phone and I would do anything to get it back. Please help!

    "I got my iphone stolen right out of my bag and I am assuming there is no way of retrieving the phone back unless I have the Find My Iphone app?"
    It is not an app.  It is a feature of icloud and iphone.  Did you set it up on the iphone itself BEFORE it was stolen?  If not, then you cannot track it at all.
    Change your passwords and report it to the police.

  • TS4006 I have a problem, I locked my MacBook Pro "mountain lion" with the find my iPhone app. When I returned home to unlock my MacBook thats where the problem began. I was unable to unlock the MacBook with the code I then called apple they cou

    I've been locked out my MacBook Pro, I was able to lock the MacBook with the find my iPhone app but I'm unable to unlock it with the app or by punching in the code directly to the MacBook, so far the apple store or reps over the phone can not help. I've called a third party retail store for assistance and the tell me I have to pay, even if I get it to work or not... So far nothing these apple "genius" will do to help with this product solution.
    I know my passcode/password but I am not able to log in....
    Is there anyone that can help?

    I would guess the fan is the cause of the noise. Suggest you take a look at it.
    This site has a wealth of information about getting inside a Macbook or Macbook Pro.

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE

    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug.
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER

    Here's an interesting bit: iTunes will let me restore my iPod touch from backup: it's still running iOS 4.3.3. I figured as much... there's backups showing in the Preferences -> Devices list for both devices (and even my old, long gone iPod touch 2G), but my iPhone (on iOS5) isn't giving me any such option. I remember I had to downgrade before to get the backup restored (something went haywire in the setup assistant, and I couldn't restore a backup from iTunes there)... If it was possible to go to iOS 5.0 rather than 5.0.1 I would just do the same thing again, but iOS 5.0.1 isn't an option. I attached a screenshot. Hopefully Apple can get this nonsense sorted out; I think iOS 5 might be the root of this, somehow.

  • TS4006 Can I turn my phone to online without my phone? I can't seem to locate it with the find my iphone app because it's telling me it's offline.

    I'm using "find my iphone" to try and locate my phone . I'm getting the message that my phone is offline . Is there a way to get it back online threw my computer?

    If your phone is lost and is shown as being offline, there isn't anything you can do to force it to go online.  If it appears in the device list in Find My iPhone, you could issue a "Lost Mode" command to lock it.  This would only be executed when it goes back online again, if ever.  See http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f0165.

  • TS3376 what is going on with the find my iphone app,i use IOS 6.1.1 and i have updated the find my iphone app and now i cant locate my device

    some help or some explanation would be nice because i rly need this app and now after the update im not able to locate my device

    Not sure if it would help or not, but if you haven't already done so, some things you could try are:
    Tap Sign Out on the top right of the app, then sign back in
    Force close the app by going to the home screen, double-tapping the home button, locating the app in the list at the bottom, tapping and holding the app until it wiggles, tapping to close it, then tapping the home button again.
    Go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Find My iPhone off, the after a minute or so, turn it back on.

  • My iPad has been stolen, I need some help with the Find my iPhone app and iCloud please

    Hello people.  I have (had) an iPad 1 (wifi only) - which was stolen two days ago.  It's locked with a passcode but I am worried that someone will be able to get into it.  I've got the Find app installed on my iPhone 4S and it shows that both my iPad and stolen iPod are offline.
    Q - if either the iPad or the iPod goes into an unlocked wifi area, will I be notified on my phone?
    Q - can anyone actually break into my iPad as it is locked?
    Q - how does iCloud work in terms of the info that's on my iPad - photos etc that I don't want to lose?
    Q - I've reported this to the police - does Apple need to know?
    I'd be very grateful for any advice, many thanks in advance

  • Is something wrong with the Find My iPhone app itself???

    Find my iPhone used to locate my iPhone 4s and my new iPad with no issues.  Now it can still locate my iPhone, could not locate my iPad and now not even showing as a device and says can't locate my iMac.  All in the same house!  All devices are setup correctly.  Tech support is having me re-download the latest OS, but I am not betting it is going to work.
    Beginning to wonder if something is wrong with the app itself and nothing being said to customers.  Tech support guy did say icloud has been undergoing maintenance all week and was down for 4 hours this morning.  Hmmmm......... 
    I could see if it was the device it my problem was confined to one device.  Just setup my iMac and can't locate it.

    Would consider it except everything was fine a few weeks ago.  Have made no hardware changes.  Tech thinks problem is due to major maintenance going on right now with iCloud, and the fact that it is affecting two separate devices.
