While the iPhone has been extremely popular with teens and adults, it has also been a popular device for kids too. Not only for its “Cool Factor”, but with the way it is easy to use and understand.
Most people do not know that adults can use the “Find My iPhone” option as a way to help keep track of your kids by 1) Becoming a member of iCloud, and 2) Enabling Find my iPhone on the actual device that your kid is carrying.
Here’s how:
1. First, you have to make sure that the device has a name, so you can identify it when you go in to Find My iPhone.
- Go onto the device itself.
- Go to General > About.
- Tap the NAME option.
- Give the iPhone a name (such as Jimmy’s iPhone).
- Back out of that area until you’re at the main Settings Menu.
2. Enable “Find my iPhone”
- Make sure you’re logged into your iCloud account.
- Tap your iCloud username (from the SETTINGS menu).
- Tap iCloud.
- Scroll down until you see the “Find My iPhone” option.
- Select it.
- Enable the “Find My iPhone” choice in that menu.
- Back out of that until you get to the main SETTINGS menu.
- Exit Settings.
- Now go to http://www.icloud.com
- Do it on a Desktop Mac or by using the Find My iPhone app for iOS.
- Enter your username and password.
- Now select the “Radar” icon.
You should be able to see the newly configured iOS device’s name on the Map. Go here eveytime you wish to find the device.
