Learn how to recover lost iPhone

This is thanks to Apple’s inclusion of numerous tools and features in its operating system that make it easy for you to recover your phone in the event of loss or theft, according to Al Arabiya Net reported on anews.

And if the Find My app is enabled on your iPhone, you can use the same app on your iPad to find it.

However, you will not be able to see the geolocation in real time. However, the Find My app lets you know the last location of the phone in case the battery runs out.

If the iPhone is turned off, it will appear on the map and sidebar as a blank screen phone. But if it’s on, it shows up through the map and sidebar as a phone with an active screen.
