Looks like my iPhone is not trackable

Hello!


I have all of the Find My options enabled and still my iPhone doesn't show the "iPhone still findable after turn off" and on the iCloud's Find My it can't locate it.


I tried everything and nothing happens! Please, can someone help me?

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18

Has "everything" included a Forced Restart? This will solve about half of most issues about half of the time.


Force restart iPhone - Apple Support


Quickly press and release the UP button

Quickly press and release the DOWN button

Hold the Side button in until you see the Apple logo appear in 15-20 seconds while you ignore the "slider"

Then, release the Side button when the Apple logo appears

1. Ensure Find My Network is Enabled:

  • Go to Settings ➡️ [Your Name] ➡️ Find My ➡️ Find My iPhone.
  • Make sure **Find My Network** is toggled on. This feature allows your iPhone to be located even when it's powered off.


2. Check Location Services:

  • Navigate to Settings ➡️ Privacy & Security ➡️ Location Services.
  • Ensure Location Services are enabled and that **Find My** has access to your location.


3. Verify iCloud Settings:

  • Confirm that you're signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on your iPhone and the device you're using to locate it.
  • Go to Settings ➡️ [Your Name] ➡️ iCloud ➡️ Find My iPhone and ensure it's Set to ON.


4. Restart and Re-enable Find My:

  • Restart your iPhone and then toggle off and back on the Find My iPhone and Find My Network options.

Hey Axel! Thanks for answering.


I checked all of the above and did everything, but most of the things were already done before. Not to say everything.


And it still doesn’t work. What’s interesting is this option was showing just like yesterday and I haven’t changed anything on the settings.


Thanks a lot-

Hey Bob!


Yes, I did try it. Many times to be honest.


My next shot is going to be disabling Find My for a couple of hours and then try to reenable it again. Maybe that would work? I don’t know.


I’m not sure if this could have something to do with the Stolen Device Protection, but I don’t think so. Should be the opposite lol


Thanks for trying to help me

Hmm, yeah, it makes sense.


Actually I just disabled it, went back to the localization settings and toggled off-on the Find My option and it started working back again.


Not sure if this was related to the Stolen Device thing or the reenabling thing for the Localization Services.


Anyway, it happened before that it started working again and then stopped all of the sudden, so I’ll give it a couple of days and come back.


Thank you again!
