Whistle phone finder
Useful when your hands are full
Use one steady note
Whistle clearly for about half a second. A stable note is easier to distinguish from speech, singing, music, and changing television sounds.
Pick the right room preset
Use Quiet when the room is calm, Normal for everyday use, and Noisy only when the phone needs more help hearing through background sound. A higher setting can increase accidental alerts.
Check speaker routing
Bluetooth, Do Not Disturb, and manufacturer settings can affect where or whether an alarm is heard. Run Test alert with the same headset and sound settings you normally use.
Nearby means nearby
Distance, closed doors, cases, bags, and microphone placement matter. The app does not use GPS or remote tracking.
