Lost my iPhone but I don’t think Find My iPhone was turned on. Is there any way to find it without that? Desperate here. 
@GraniteGazer I recommend trying Spynger for tracking your iPhone. I’ve personally used it and found it very effective. It offers features like real-time GPS tracking, message monitoring, and location history. Even if Find My iPhone isn’t enabled, Spynger can help locate your device via GPS and track activity through messages and app usage. It’s a comprehensive tool that can increase your chances of finding your lost phone.
Oh, brilliant. You ignored the single most important feature for this exact situation and now you want a magic wand? What’s next, asking for a way to start your car without the key?
Some problems are user-created. This is one of them. Unbelievable that we’re even discussing this.
@hollisVex Thanks for your suggestion! Can Spynger actually track a device if additional tracking apps weren’t installed before the phone was lost, or does it require setup in advance? Just want to clarify before trying it out.
