Find my iPhone: my phone is moving on the map?
I forgot my phone at the barn the other day so this morning I enabled lost mode. As soon as I did, my phone started moving. Each time i refresh it, it moves farther away from the spot it was at (the sand ring), towards a field. I'm thinking some has it? But they would've had to cross a highway as well as a river and i believe the person would be on foot due to the fact that the app shows that my phone is on the middle of a field. I'm going there today so ill have a look around the barn and see if i can find it. I'm wondering if i should trust the app… Is it accurate? Does it actually mean that my phone is moving around or just a glitch? Thanks for the help!
Added (1). I checked again on find Iphone and now its on the street of my barn, much, much closer to the barn… This is confusing me really bad. I won't have Wi-Fi on my ipad over there so i can't track it once i get there so want to be able to make sure that it will stay in one place or if it doesn't, at least where it was but i just moves around almost at random locations around the barn each time i refresh it
My suggestion is to look for it where you remember having it last and if it isn't there then go back and try tracking it. My guess is it hasn't moved.
I would trust it. I also think you're right. Someone has picked it up but they haven't shut it off yet, so be very careful if you attempt to retrieve it. Don't get into a situation. Any way you could have someone monitor it for you while you go out there? Maybe borrow a phone from a friend so they can give you real time updates? Also, once you are there, have the person send the phone a message, and the 'I'm lost' sound alert so it possible you could hear it when you are nearby. Best luck.
- With my new iPhone 7 plus if I set it up as a new phone instead of moving my iCloud data to the new phone would I lose my? Unlimited data plan and phone number or would that still be there I already put my SIM card in 10 points
- When I unlock my phone it goes to a map with my location on it? So I have a iPhone and i don't know what I clicked on while it was in my pocket but when I unlock my phone like I normally do it opens to my maps app with just the dot on my location… I don't know how to fix it please help it's so annoying.
- My iPhone just got stolen and i didn't put on Find my iphone. Is there a way i can find it without find my iphone? I have found out that i can remove my iphone from associated devices. Does doing this erase the iphone?
- Moving to Germany from USA to live for at least 3 years to study. How can I still use my phone to text/call/FT Americans while I'm there? Do I need to get a completely new phone? Plan? Phone number? I don't understand this process, as I have never gone through it before. I currently have an IPhone 7 and I use AT&T.
