Silent mode lost iPhone: what to do?
Users of branded smartphones have developed life hacks that make it possible to find "iPhone" from "Android" even if the silent mode is set.

Searching for a disabled phone via "Android"
IMEI is a basic phone number that helps track iPhone under any circumstances. In the factory settings, iPhones have a 15- or 16-digit number, which can be recognized by the number: 06. The feature is active when GPS data is enabled on the lost phone. The search is carried out on the operator's network, which provides information about the location of the phone by satellite signal.
This feature is not available to individuals, so to find "iPhone" through an android phone, you will need to be patient. An application is submitted to the police department with a form and an explanation of the reason for the search. After its consideration, law enforcement agencies will connect the telecom operator and track the phone using GPS navigation. A minimum of three days is allocated to process the request. If the loss is valuable, then it is better to start searching in other ways.
An alternative program to find an Apple device
Samsung's remote search function has largely gone ahead of the Apple brand. The program provides the following features:
- Authorization without two-factor authentication from one device.
- Working with two geographical resources (maps). This option is useful for those regions that have little information about geolocation.
- Tips for new users. If the user is looking for his iPhone for the first time, then intuitive tips will help you complete all the steps correctly.
- Backup allows you to save the latest data. To do this, it is necessary that the Internet be turned on on the lost iPhone.
- "Add Trustees" - a new item that allows another user to track devices and send signals to it.
- To find an iPhone from an Android phone, you need to authorize the device through the Samsung website in the same way as through iCloud.
In the near future, Apple plans to outperform the competitor's program with a new Apple-SIM security system. The function will resemble a chip that will be built into the iPhone, and in case of any loss or theft, the owner will immediately find his gadget without setting up geolocation and the Internet. Switching between operators will also be inside the phone and will not allow you to open the cover to remove the SIM card. The corporation developed a similar innovation back in 2014, but the system had certain errors and needed to be improved.

The maps pointed to his own house, but the gadget was lost in a nearby cafe. This can happen due to the fact that the system remembered the last synchronization of the phone and could not find a connection to the new location.
