But Find My does much more! For starters, it works with nearly any Apple device. You can use it to locate a missing Mac, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, and even AirPods. Find My also helps protect your data if a device is stolen. It even works with Family Sharing to locate devices owned by anyone in your family.

Find My has a few tricks up its sleeve. For when you want a device to show a message or if you think it was stolen:

  • Lost Mode: When invoking this mode for an iOS device or Apple Watch, you’ll be asked to enter a phone number where you can be reached and a message. 
  • Lock: Available only for the Mac, the Lock feature enables you to protect an entire Mac with a 4-digit custom passcode.
  • Erase: Even if your device has an excellent passcode or password, you might worry that a thief will access your data.
  • Activation Lock: This feature prevents someone who has your passcode but doesn’t know your Apple ID and password from setting it up for a new user. 

You must turn on Find My before your device goes missing!
