Last week, while my friends and I were having a birthday party at my home, one of my friends with an iPhone lost or misplaced the device. After searching for more than two hours, I realized that Apple has a Find My Friends feature to track someone else’s iPhone.

Within a few minutes of hunting like a spy agent, we finally found my Friend’s iPhone as we eagerly waited to watch our party dance recorded on that iPhone.
