Suppose I lost my phone and I could use find my phone to find it. The problem is I don’t have my phone in order to find my phone with. I don’t have a computer I don’t have a laptop All I have is a phone. How on earth would I use find my phone to find my phone?
You would just have to find it…
Like, if you didn’t have anything to use the app. You would just have to physically find it…
Same way you find anything else that doesn’t have an app
I figured as much. I was hoping there was a workaround like I could call Apple or something.
Borrow someone’s computer? Use one at your local library?
Go to a library or a friend or wherever you can access a computer. Even buy a prepaid phone with the least data you can get so it’s cheap, and use that to locate your phone.
Just for the sake of saying it, in this age it’s rather rare to find someone who has only one Internet connected device whatsoever. If that’s the case really, and it’s your phone, then you really need to have extra precaution. Get a cheap backup phone like an Android you can get for like $10 even a really good one. I buy and sell these they’re very cheap these days if you don’t need the best. Don’t have to have a cellular plan on it just keep it at home and you can get it from wherever you keep it and go to anywhere there’s wifi.
Yeah go on eBay and buy like a Samsung Galaxy one of the ones from a few years ago. Or an LG or a UMX or a ZTE or a Nokia. Any of those running a few Android versions back. You could get one that functions perfectly and other than being no competition to newer ones, they’re fully functional. Let me know if you decide you actually want to do this, I’ll hook you up with something cheap and reliable.

Ask someone else with a phone.

Use a library/work computer.
I’m pretty sure a phone store of your carrier could also help you. I’m 99% positive I’ve seen them advertising such support at my local TMO.
I always have a tablet or an old phone lying around.
