In this tutorial, we will explore how to track an iPhone for free. Whether you’ve misplaced your device or it has been stolen, being able to track its location can be immensely helpful. Fortunately, there are several methods available that allow you to track your iPhone without having to spend any money.

Method 1: Find My iPhone

If you have enabled the ‘Find My iPhone’ feature on your device, you can easily track its location using another Apple device or through iCloud.com.

Step 1: Enable Find My iPhone

To begin, make sure that ‘Find My iPhone’ is enabled on the device you want to track. Go to ‘Settings’, tap on your name at the top of the screen, and select ‘iCloud’. Scroll down and toggle on the ‘Find My iPhone’ option.

Step 2: Track Using Another Apple Device

If you have another Apple device linked to the same iCloud account, open the ‘Find My’ app. Select the ‘Devices’ tab at the bottom of the screen and choose your iPhone from the list. You will be able to see its current location on a map.

Step 3: Track Using iCloud.com

If you don’t have access to another Apple device, you can still track your iPhone using a web browser. Visit www.icloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID. Click on ‘Find iPhone’, select your device from the list of devices associated with your account, and view its location on a map.

Method 2: Google Maps Timeline

If you have Google Maps installed on your iPhone and have enabled location tracking, you can use Google Maps Timeline to track its location history.

Step 1: Open Google Maps Timeline

Launch the Google Maps app on your iPhone and tap on the menu icon in the top-left corner. Scroll down and select ‘Your Timeline’.

Step 2: View Location History

Google Maps Timeline will display a map with your recent location history. You can scroll through the timeline to view past locations and see where your iPhone has been.

There are several third-party tracking apps available on the App Store that can help you track your iPhone’s location. These apps often offer additional features like remote device locking and data erasing.

Search for a reputable tracking app on the App Store and install it on your iPhone. Make sure to read reviews and choose an app with positive feedback.

Step 2: Set Up Tracking

Follow the app’s instructions to set up tracking on your device. This usually involves creating an account and granting necessary permissions.
