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
- Open the app on your phone.
- Select the family member whose phone is missing.
- See its live location on the map, plus the route and distance to reach it.
When it helps
- Misplaced at home: quickly narrow down where a phone is hiding.
- Left somewhere: see if it's still at the café, gym or a friend's place.
- Kids & parents: locate a family member's device when they can't find it themselves.
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.
