Android iPhone Official tools first
Android
Lost an Android phone?
Open Google's Find Hub on another device or in a browser and sign in to the Google Account that is on the phone. If location was on, you can see where it was last, play a sound, lock it or erase it.
iPhone
Lost an iPhone?
Open Find My on another Apple device or sign in at iCloud.com/find with your Apple Account. If Find My was on, you can see the location, play a sound, mark it as lost or erase it.
Reading a location
What the map can — and cannot — tell you
Official finders show an approximate or last known location with the time it was updated. Check that time before you go anywhere. The map below is an illustration, not a live location.

Offline
Last seen
The phone is off, out of battery or has no signal. You may only see where it was last; some finders tell you when it comes back online.
Never set up
Check
If location or the finder was off before the phone went missing, the official finder cannot show it. Secure your account and talk to your carrier.
Stolen
Act fast
Don't try to get it back yourself. Lock or erase it from the finder, block the SIM with your carrier and report it — in India you can also block the IMEI on CEIR.
-
Phone number .
A phone number on its own does not show where a phone is. To find your own phone, use the official finder linked to the account on it.
-
IMEI .
The 15-digit IMEI identifies your handset. Keep it for the police report and your carrier; in India it is used to block a lost or stolen phone on CEIR. It is not a live tracker.
-
Your account .
The Google Account or Apple Account signed in on the phone opens the official finder. If you can't sign in, recover the account through the provider first.
-
iPhone .
Use Find My on another Apple device or at iCloud.com/find. It only works if Find My was turned on for the iPhone.
-
Android .
Use Google's Find Hub on another device or in a browser. It works when the phone is signed in to a Google Account and location was on.
-
Phone nearby .
If the phone is somewhere close, play a sound from the official finder — on Android it rings even when the phone is on silent.
-
Stolen phone .
Lock or erase it remotely, block the SIM with your carrier and file a police report. Don't confront anyone yourself.
-
Shared location .
To see where a family member is, they have to share their location with you themselves — for example in Google Maps or Find My — and they can stop at any time.
