Is data constantly used when find my iphone is enabled

If Find my Iphone is enabled, will it constantly use data or only when soemone tries to find it?

Thanks...Just was trying to make sure, as that is how I understood it; but one of the Genius at the Apple store told me it wouldn't unless I tried to find it.  That didn't seem right.  I asked, as it is a nice feature for me to track where my sons phone is.  However, he is only on a 2gb plan.

  • I lost my iphone 4, but I found it using the find my iphone app on another apple device. But before I did this I erased all the data from my phone. When I try to reactivate it I am asked to unlock my sim but there is nowhere for me to enter the pin.

    Hi,
    Tap the iPod icon in the Dock. Then tap the Airplay icon just to the right of the volume slider.
    Make sure the iPad speakers are selected, not your wireless.

  • Please, can you confirm that after erase the phone using the find my iphone all my personal data will be unavailable? Someone stole my iphone 6  on the street

    Please, can you confirm that after erase the phone using the find my iphone option,  all my personal data will be completely unavailable? Someone stole my iphone 6 +  on the street. I have already received a mail from apple confirming that is erased. Can I trust on this message? It really works? my 3G connection was working properly.
    Thank you very much

    Hey Joangil,
    Yes! If you have received an email from Apple stating and confirming that it is erased then you should trust this message. It would have all been removed.
    Sorry to hear that your iPhone has been stolen,

  • I activated my ipad, used iCloud & Find my iphone with Apple ID named: A@.... But now I've changed address of Apple ID from A@... to the new one: B@... Which Apple ID will be asked to re-activate 7.0.4 ipad - A or B?

    Hello everybody!
    I'm using ipad mini and the iOS is 7.0.4. I used an Apple ID (called: A), and I activated my ipad, used iCloud & Find my iphone with this A account. But now I've changed address of Apple ID from A@.... to the new one: B@.... (just changed email address of Apple ID, not create a new ID), and then I signed out iCloud, old Apple ID, etc... on my ipad and signed in with new id B@.... Everythings seem OK, I can sign in/out iCould, turn on/turn off Find my iphone as well with the new one (B@...)
    But I still have a question (and still confusing with it): What will happend when I restored my ipad? I mean my iOS is 7, so which Apple ID will be asked to re-activate my ipad after I restore it, old id A@.... (this one cannot be used now) or the new one B@...., please?
    Thank you very much for your helpful informations!

    If you've succesfully changed the ID for iCloud and Find my phone, it will be your new ID you use if you need to restore it.

  • How can I turn my ipod on remotely so that I can use the Find my Iphone app (sound mode) to find it

    I have a ipod 5 gen and I lost it somewhere around the house. I've used the Find My Iphone app, but it indicates that its offline. So I'm guessing it ran out of battey or its turned off. That's why I am asking if theres anyway that I could turn my ipod back on in order for the sound to be played from FMI app. Thanks alot for any future help.

    You can't, When off it is dead
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • I have lost my phone and want to use the find my iphone app to delete all the info on my phone. How can i do this on another persons iphone? do i need to log out of their icloud account and then sign in under mine?

    I have lost my iphone 4s and want to use find my iphone app on my boyfriends iphone 3s to delete the info on my now lost phone. Do i need to log out of his icloud inorder to log into mine to do this on his phone?

    You need to use the Find My iPhone app (in the itunes store - free).  When invoking it on a device, you enter the ID password of the account the lost device is connected to.  You can also use a computer's browser and log into icloud.com.

  • Can I stop the iPhone from surfing the internet and still use the "find my iPhone" option?

    Hi. Can I use my iPhone without causing internet-costs? I have got a prepaid-card and my iPhone uses the internet all the time - that costs a lot of money. So can I stop the iPhone from surfing the internet and still use the "find my iPhone" option?

    Find My Phone REQUIRES an internet connection in order to work. Either WiFi or Cellular Data. So, if you turn off Cellular data, you're defeating Find My Phone.

  • Can I use the Find my Iphone app on Itunes?

    Hi, I was wondering if i could use the find my iphone app on itunes, i do not own any other apple device except my phone.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can use the find my phone app on your phone if you want, however there doesn't seem much point, since you will have it in your hand when you are using it and therefore know where it is.
    You can enable the find my phone feature through settings >Icloud, and then track your phone at iCloud.com, should it be lost or stolen.

  • HT4759 My iPad was lost. I am using the Find my iPhone app, but it is not showing there (though the iPhones, even one that is not iCloud enabled, is). What can I do?

    My iPad was lost today. I am using the Find My iPhone app, but it is not showing on the device list or the map (though my iPhones, even one that is not iCloud enabled, is). What can I do?

    The only thing you might do is enable Lost Mode, which will allow you to set a passcode on it (as well as a message and phone number where you can be reached) so it will be locked when and if it does go online.  You can also receive an email informing you if it goes online so you can track it on icloud.com.  See http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f0165.
    In the meantime, you may want to change your passwords.

  • Lost iphone - wants to use the Find my iphone feature

    I just lost my iphone 4 and I wanted to use the Find my iphone on it, but i laso just discovered that my wife's phone is using the same icloud account so when clicked on the Find my iphone, it is finding "her" iphone.  How can I use it to find "my" iphone

    If your phone is powered on, and has an Internet connection it will automatically find it when logged into that account in the Find my iPhone app.
    The fact that it didn't appear suggests the phone is off, has no internet or Find my iPhone is not turned on in it.

  • My daughter and I both have iPhone 4s'.   Last night she switched to ios7 and I am still using ios6.  I use the find my iPhone app to keep track of her and since the update it no longer works.  Her phone says its on. ???

    My daughter and I both have iPhone 4s'.   Last night she switched to ios7 and I am still using ios6.  I use the find my iPhone app to keep track of her and since the update it no longer works.  Her phone says its on but when I try and locate it from either my phone or laptop it shows it offline.  Any suggestions.  It's my only peace of mind! Thanks!

    Does she have her own iCloud account?  You can have more than one iCloud account installed on a device, and some users install a secondary iCloud account which is common to others in the family to allow "Find My iPhone" to be used from one account while keeping separate iCloud contacts, mail, etc.
    But with iOS 7 although you can still have multiple iCloud accounts installed, only the "primary" iCloud account supports "Find my iPhone".  So if her iCloud account is the primary, you can no longer track her from your iCloud account.  Is that what happened in your case?

  • Can the iphone be remotely activated if it is lost or stolen so it can be found using the find my iphone app

    If you didn't enable the Find My iPhone function, then you can't track the iPhone.  But it sounds like you did have it turned on, if you're seeing that it's listed in the Find My iPhone app or on icloud.com.  But are you sure it's the same device?  If you had a previous iPhone, and the name of both iPhones was the same, it would make it difficult to know which phone was which, even if they both were listed.
    In any event, an offline device is not trackable.  It could be offline because A) it has no power or B) it is not connected to the internet via cellular data or wi-fi.
    Until it comes back online (and it may never), then it cannot be remotely tracked.

  • I lost på iPhone 4s today. I tried to locate it by using "icould find my iPhone", but it says it's disconnected. Why?

    I lost på iPhone 4s today. I tried to locate it by using "icould find my iPhone", but it says it's disconnected. Why?

    Why? It could be turned off, ran out of power/battery, run over by a vehicle, out of service, submerged in water/liquid/in a gutter, wiped and reset by whoever found it, etc, etc.
    It could be any of a myriad of reasons.
