You can trigger the ‘find phone’ function on your Apple Watch. The phone will make a sound and your watch shows a live view of how far away the phone is and a general direction.
Ah yes, for all of the Lemmy FOSS enthusiasts with their Apple products /s :)
Hi, that's me.
I love foss, but there's only so much bad UI/UX I can tolerate. Also for my phone I want it to just kinda... phone. (and have a good camera)
There are ways to do this with android as well
Yeah my Garmin can do this on my Android.
Lemmy isn’t just for FOSS enthousiasts.
Personally I run Linux/FreeBSD on my servers but use macOS / iOS on my laptop/tablet/phone, best of both worlds.
You can do a similar thing with Android's find hub thing. IIRC it will also ring even if the phone is in silent mode
Doesn't it need to be connected to a Google account though? I feel like the same people who don't use Apple also try to steer clear of Google. I promise I'm not trying to intentionally be difficult!
Yeah it does. And I'm in that weird spot where I can't stand apple but still am somewhat ok with Google (mostly due to residual goodwill from their old philosophy if I'm being honest...) as long as I can mostly deprive them of my personal data
