Wondering how to find someone\u2019s location on an iPhone? Common reasons for wanting to track location include concern about the whereabouts of minor children, spouses, stolen phones, or that a significant other is being unfaithful. Maybe you just haven\u2019t heard back from a loved one and are worried if they are okay.<\/p>\n
Locating a friend, family member, child, spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend on an iPhone is easy if you follow our guide. Though there are are many different methods to discover where an iPhone user is, they depend on your level of access to an individual’s phone. Also, it is dependent on whether you\u2019re an iPhone user yourself and if they want to share their location with you.<\/p>\n
Even if they don\u2019t want to share their whereabouts, the following tips will work if you legally own the phone. Legal ownership means you are the person who purchased the phone and that the phone was purchased through your paid cell contracted account. If so, the phone is your property, and you can monitor or control its settings (though you should check local laws in your area).<\/p>\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/My-Post-17-1.jpg” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”200″ offset=”200″ align=”center” lightbox=”off” captionposition=”left” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n
First, make sure their iPhone Location Services are switched to on.<\/p>\n
Remember, Family Sharing is not for everyone. You will need to decide if you want to share purchases, iCloud Storage, and Apple Music in addition to Location Sharing.<\/p>\n
First, make sure their iPhone Location Services are switched to on.<\/p>\n
To alter what you share on the app, go to the \u2018Me\u2019 icon at the bottom left of the page. You can change your location share status there, as well as the email you send invites from, and whether you want to allow friend requests or not. The purpose of sharing your location is to encourage the other person to share theirs as well.<\/p>\n
If you want them to share their location with you, but do not want to share yours in return, you\u2019ll need to use \u2018Contacts.\u2019 This means you will need access to their iPhone.<\/p>\n
First, make sure their iPhone Location Services are switched to on.<\/p>\n
Go into settings> Privacy> Location Services> Share My Location (On\/ Off).<\/p>\n
If you are legally allowed access to someone\u2019s iCloud, in the case of a parent\/child relationship, log into their iCloud account via their password or a stored password on a shared computer (if you are an Apple user, you can check past password logins through \u2018Keychain\u2019).<\/p>\n\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/My-Post-19-1.jpg” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”200″ offset=”200″ align=”center” lightbox=”off” captionposition=”left” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n
Login to their iCloud account via https:\/\/www.icloud.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you believe your phone has been stolen, this is the first option you will want to use, as it allows you to lock your phone or send a message to the device. If you have misplaced your iPhone or Apple device, log into YOUR iCloud account to track your device(s).<\/p>\n Did you find the person you want to locate? If not, don\u2019t be tricked by online scams. If a user hasn\u2019t allowed Apple to show their location, then 3rd party sites promising to find their Apple product location won\u2019t be helpful. However, if you still want more information about an individual, try a search on Social Catfish<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
