Here Are All the Ways to 'Ping' a Lost iPhone ...Middle East

News by : (Live Hacker) -

Depending on how involved you are with iPhones and Apple products, you may or may not be familiar with “pinging.” It's not Apple’s failed attempt to turn iTunes into a social media platform (yes, that really happened)—I'm talking about making your iPhone play a high-pitched tone, no matter where it happens to be. Pinging is the preferred method for finding a missing iPhone in your immediate area because it doesn’t matter if the phone is on silent or not.

Apple makes it easy for those in the Apple ecosystem to ping their iPhones. In fact, it offers three different methods for doing so. Check out all three below, and pick one the next time your iPhone goes missing.

How to ping an iPhone using Find My

If you have an Apple device connected to the same Apple ID as your iPhone, you can launch Find My there. Just search for "Find My" on either your Mac or iPad to open the app. If you don't have a connected Apple device with you, you can log in to icloud.com and choose Find My from here. Either way, choose your iPhone from the list, and tap Play Sound to ping it. (If you're using the Find My app on Mac, you'll need to right-click your iPhone or click the (i) that appears on map in order to find this option.) At first, your iPhone will simply vibrate. After a few seconds, however, it will begin to play a high-pitched sound. This sound will continue to play until your iPhone is found—or you stop the sound through Find My—so keep that in mind.

If you have an Apple Watch, you can use it to ping your iPhone. It’s certainly much faster to tap a button on your watch instead of reaching for Find My, so, if you have one of Apple’s wearables, I recommend you use it first.

There’s a hidden feature to this Apple Watch button, though. If you hold it down instead of tapping it, your iPhone’s LED will flash, as well. That way, if its speaker is a bit muffled, you can also rely on the flash to help locate your phone.

How to ping an iPhone using Siri

If you don’t have an Apple Watch, Siri is another quick way to find a lost iPhone (or anything, really). Just fire up Siri on one of your connected Apple devices, and ask it to find the device you’re looking for. For example, you could ask Siri on your Mac to ping your iPhone, or you could ask your iPad to ping your Mac.
