How to use Find My on Apple HomeView to locate lost devices

Apple HomeView has a built-in Find My app that can help when you’ve misplaced an iPhone, an AirPods charging case or something with an AirTag attached. It also lets you check the location of people who have chosen to share that information with you.

Find a lost device or item

Open Find My on HomeView and choose the device or item you’re looking for. The information available depends on whether that item supports Find My and is associated with your Apple Account or shared appropriately. Apple confirms the HomeView capability in its product announcement.

For family members, Find My only shows locations that those people have chosen to share. HomeView’s personal-recognition features help keep individual account information separate on a household display.

Check the correct user is signed in

If a device or person is missing from the app, check that HomeView has recognized the correct household member and that location sharing or Find My is configured on the relevant Apple device.
