How to locate an extinguished iPhone?|SFR Actus

It's a little panic that iPhone possessors hate to live.The one where you can no longer find your device, and where you think you have lost 14,387 photos, 753 videos and lots of confidential information related to applications, bank accounts...In short, a real potential drama.Fortunately, there is a solution: location.

While we thought that the geolocation of mobile phones was reserved for spies like Jack Bauer, James Bond and all their little friends from the CIA or FBI, it has become more democratic with the arrival of GPS on the devices.

Consequently, it has become possible to be able to find all lost phones, most of the time, including dedicated applications, in which we could record the coordinates of the device.Only, this technique had a flaw: impossible to locate the iPhone if it was turned off, or with a completely empty battery.Unless you work for intelligence services...So Apple engineers have developed a system to be able to find a lost iPhone, even if it is no longer on.Here are the different steps to make the operation possible and carry it out.

First of all, you must have a later version of iOS 8.If your model is recent or you regularly update, there will be no problem.Then, you have to go to settings, take the menu to the Apple identifier, then click on the iCloud line.Then, take the menu down to the bottom until I see locate my iPhone, then send the last position, and therefore activate these two options.Thus, the position of the phone is sent to Apple servers as soon as its level of charge becomes critical.By connecting to your Apple account, it is then possible to check the last known position of your iPhone.Beware of the big moment of solitude if it is simply in the pocket of your jacket...

How to prevent the location in the event of theft

The advantage of this solution is that it is applicable from any computer, tablet or smartphone, without the machine used being necessarily Apple Apple.And it also allows you to lock these options.So in the event of theft, the Gredins will not be able to deactivate the location and prevent you from finding your iPhone.For that, it is therefore necessary to go to settings, then general.Select Restrictions, and there you will have to define a four -digit code, if this has not yet been done.Then scroll to find location service, and select the option no change.

In this way, no one can prevent you from finding your iPhone.Safety measures to be taken beforehand, but which can really make this moment very unpleasant when you no longer find your device a little less delicate.
