Up until now Find My iPhone was fine and dandy until someone grabbed your phone and switched it off. At that moment, your iPhone would drop right off the Google Map and go dark, leaving you staring at a useless screen.
Luckily, Apple has now updated the Find My iPhone app to add a new feature that should make your chances of recovering your phone marginally better than mine were back in November when I penned the sad tale of my stolen iPhone 4. Read on for details of the update…
The updated Find My iPhone includes two simple upgrade – when you’re unable to locate your device because its been turned off, you’ll receive an email if the device is switched back on and located. If you do lose a device permanently, you’ll also now be able to remove it from the Find My iPhone listing so it’s name doesn’t remain there haunting you.
