No.  Find My can only be enabled directly on the iPhone. It cannot be enabled elsewhere.


So, what to Try:

  • Dial it: See if it is heard ring


  • Ask Local Authorities: See if it has be hanged over.


  • Text It: Ask whomever has come across it, to contact you.


  • Ask Someone: See if someone you know (i.e. Friend, or Family Member) if that came across it.


  • Backtrack your Locations: If you are at a Coffee shop, or a library, stop by and see if it was safely placed asside.
