  • Play a Sound: If your iPhone is nearby but cleverly camouflaged amongst the couch cushions, tap "Play Sound". Your iPhone will emit a loud, attention-grabbing noise that'll help you unearth it from its hiding spot.
  • Lost Mode (Activate with Caution): If you think your iPhone might be gone for good, you can activate Lost Mode**. This will lock your iPhone, prevent anyone from accessing your data, and even allow you to display a custom message on the lock screen (like "Hey Finder, please return this to [your name], I miss it dearly!").

Remember: For Find My to work its magic, both your iPhone and iPad need to be connected to the internet.
