Finding a lost ipad or iphone

A great feature of Apple devices is the 'find my device'. If it is lost, you can log into www.icloud.com and track on a map where it is and wipe if desired. Just recently, I came across someone who tried this, but it did not work!!

It turned out that they had now turned on the feature when setting it up. What is more important, the Apple insurance was only claimable if this feature was turned on. Luckily the iPad was found. 

So, please make sure with your Apple devices the both the location and find device setting are turned on.
