How to Find Stolen iPhone?

This post will help you if you haven’t lost your iPhone yet. It’s best to use some of these apps instead of crying over the lost phone. Here is how to find stolen iPhone:
Find my iPhone
It is the official app from Apple and uses their iCloud services to find the lost iPhone. Using this app, you can lock the phone even when it is not with you and set a code on its screen. You can even delete its data right from your computer’s browser. It is a free app, and I would recommend everyone to have it. Even if you don’t get your iPhone back, this app would make the iPhone useless for the person who has it.
Device locator
This app costs $2.99 and lets you track the location history of your iPhone when you lose it. Even if the phone is turned off and you have misplaced it, you can still get to know the last location of the phone when it was on. This app is certainly good for finding a lost iPhone, and it can also be used to keep track of where your husband is going. Ladies, this is the right app for you. There are no monthly/yearly fees. You can even take a photo of the person who is using your iPhone and send it to your email id!
FoneHome
Its name reminded me of the movie ET. This one costs $2.99 as well. It allows you to track GPS location of the phone and take photos of the person who is using your iPhone. It also plays a sound. Great feature if you have kept your iPhone in a pile of laundry and forgotten about it. The GPS tracking by this app are quite accurate. Device Locator and FoneHome have many similar features so you can get either one.
GadgetTrak
This one would cost you $3.99. It actually tricks your phone thief into sending their location to the app server. Once this information is received, you can get highly accurate GPS, IP, and map data. This same app is available on other platforms too (If you want to know apps for lost Android phone, read this) GadgetTrak is a bit expensive, but it is a reliable app.
If Found +
How to find stolen iPhone? Simple. Let a good Samaritan return it to you. This app would cost you $0.99 and rely on Good Guy Greg (or Good Girl Gina) to return your iPhone. With this app, you can create wallpaper or a lock image that will display an emergency number where they can call and report the missing iPhone.
How to find stolen iPhone? Well now you know. And what to do when you find a lost iPhone? Return it like a good Samaritan. That’s the best thing to do rather than landing in jail.
