A phone left on the bus, dropped between the couch cushions, or forgotten at a friend's house — it happens to everyone. If the phone belongs to someone in your family group and location sharing is on, you can open Phone Tracker: Phone Locator and see exactly where it is.

How to find a connected phone

  1. Open the app on your phone.
  2. Select the family member whose phone is missing.
  3. See its live location on the map, plus the route and distance to reach it.
Set it up ahead of time: this only works if the phone is already connected in your group with sharing enabled and consent given. It's worth inviting your family members now, so you're prepared before anything gets lost. The app cannot locate a phone that hasn't agreed to share.

When it helps

Frequently asked questions

Can this app help find a misplaced phone?

Yes, if the phone is connected in your family group and location sharing is on, you can open the app and see its live location on the map — helpful when a family member misplaces their phone at home or around town.

What do I need for this to work?

The phone you want to find must already be connected in your group with location sharing enabled. It's a good idea to set this up in advance so you're covered if a phone goes missing.

Can I find any phone with this app?

No. You can only see phones whose owners have accepted your invite and agreed to share their location. The app is consent-based and cannot locate a stranger's phone.
