Find My iPhone was one of Apple's greatest innovations, allowing people to easily locate their small but expensive (and increasingly essential) everyday devices.

In addition to the iPhone, you can also use the feature to find your iPad and even your Mac computer.

With Find My iPhone, you'll be able to track the location of your device, and also have it make a noise so you can find it more easily.

Unlike many other features, though, this is one you have to activate before you need to use it.
