5 Turn on Send Last Location
We shouldn’t have to tell you to enable Find My iPhone and to use it if your device goes missing. That’s the surest way to figure out where your handset went — and to recover it. But you can do one more thing to help your chances. It’s called Send Last Location, and it does what it says on the tin.
If you’re iPhone dies or is turned off, iOS will automatically log the last location before the signal is cut. You’ll then be able to see this last location in Find My iPhone — a good last-ditch measure to recover your device.
On many devices, this is off by default. But you can enable it in..
- Settings.
- Tap Your Name (Apple ID card).
- Tap iCloud.
- Tap Find My iPhone.
- Toggle Send Last Location on.
