Find Your iPhone with Apple Watch

Locating a Misplaced iPhone with Your Apple Watch

Have you experienced the frustration of misplacing your iPhone and being unable to recall its last known location? It’s a common occurrence, especially when the device was recently in your possession. Fortunately, finding a missing iPhone can be achieved swiftly and easily by utilizing your Apple Watch.

Accessing the Settings Glance

The process begins with accessing the “Settings” glance on your Apple Watch. If the watch face isn't visible, a simple press of the digital crown will bring it into view.

From the watch face, swipe upwards from the bottom edge to reveal the Glances.

The number of Glances displayed will vary based on the apps installed on your watch and your selection of which to show. If the “Settings” Glance isn’t immediately visible, swipe to the right until you reach the leftmost Glance.

Initiating the iPhone Ping

Within the “Settings” Glance, locate and tap the button designed to ping your phone. This action will cause your iPhone to emit a distinct, audible pinging sound.

This sound will assist you in pinpointing the iPhone’s location.

To return to the primary watch face, simply press the digital crown once more.

Important Note: This functionality requires your iPhone to be within Bluetooth range of, and connected to, your Apple Watch to operate effectively.
