Plan C: Track your iPhone using Google Photos This method is kind of a last resort method and requires several things to actually help you find your device. First, you need to have the Google Photos app installed with automatic photo upload and location sharing enabled. This means that every photo which is taken with your device is uploaded to your Google Photos account.

By default, this only happens if your device is connected to WiFi. Second, someone has to take pictures with your lost iphone. In case your device is actually stolen, then this scenario is not that unlikely to happen.

You can check for newly uploaded pictures by going to photos. If you find such pictures, click on them and check on the right sidebar if a location was attached to them. Please be careful in case you were able to find the location of your iPhone this way. Face the facts, someone stole your phone and is using it without being too concerned about being found. Contact local authorities, tell them what you know and let them do their job.
