I have 3 devices. They appear correctly under the Setting as well as in the AppleID.
However, in the Find My app, suddenly there are 2 additional devices.
Why is the Account showing 3 devices but the Find My app is showing 5?
Hi, sprawling_worm.
I'm glad you decided to reach out on the Apple Support Communities.. If I understand correctly, you’re seeing 3 devices when you check your account as outlined here:
Check your Apple ID device list to see where you're signed in
And, you’re seeing 5 devices when you check Find My as outlined here:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen
If I have this right, do you recognize the two rogue devices in Find My? Is it possible they belong to family members in a Family Sharing group, or to friends that have shared their location with you? For example, when I tap the “Devices” tab in Find My, I can see all of my Apple devices as well as all the devices of everyone in my Family Sharing group that is sharing location. This article explains:
Share your location with your family
If they don’t belong to friends or family, are they old devices that you may have reported lost or stolen?
Best Regards.
Hi Alicia_K1
Thank you for your reply.
The rogue 2 devices were listed under my devices, and named using my name. They don’t appear in AppleID.
(I don’t remember naming it that way + recently sent MacBook for repairs)
AppleID not shared. Everyone has their own AppleID. And appears in a separate list.
If you sent the computer in for repairs, have you tried logging out of iCloud on the computer to see if that causes the two devices to be removed?
