How do you find an iPhone with a computer?

Find My iPhone is an application that makes locating an iPhone quick and easy. To use the service on a computer, run through the following steps.

4. Find the iPhone on the map

The map shows all devices running the application belonging to the particular username entered. Online devices are marked with a green dot.

Find My iPhone can only locate devices that are online. If the device is offline but was previously online, the application displays the device's last location for up to 24 hours.
