Lost your iPhone and can't find it? If you are sure that it was not stolen and that it must be in the immediate vicinity, you can also ping it with the Apple Watch.
Ping the iPhone with the Apple Watch
Only the iPhone with which the Apple Watch is paired can be pinged. In order for the Apple Watch to be able to ping the iPhone, both fermenters must be within Bluetooth range. To do this, first swipe up from the bottom of the screen on the Apple Watch. This will bring you to the watch control center .
Various symbols with a gray background appear on the screen - including an airplane, a flashlight, a moon and a cell phone. At the very top right there is a blue WiFi symbol or a green stylized smartphone. Only if the smartphone is visible is there a Bluetooth connection and the iPhone can be pinged..
If the iPhone is within Bluetooth range, press the grayed-out mobile phone symbol in the control center. The iPhone will then emit a clearly audible ping. The ping is one-time and can be repeated as often as required by repeatedly pressing the symbol on the control screen.
If the cell phone cannot be found in the dark, you can use the flash as an optical signal in addition to the acoustic signal . To do this, simply press and hold the grayed-out mobile phone symbol in the control center . In addition to the acoustic ping, the flash on the device also flashes briefly three times..
If the iPhone is out of the Bluetooth range, we will show you here how to locate your iPhone.
