Locate a lost mobile device

Important Update: Please read our release note about important updates and limited functionality of our Mobile Device Management solution with the launch of our new Device Management for Apple (DMA). We recommend you enroll your iOS devices with DMA. Read more about migrating from MDM to DMA.

If a user reports a missing mobile device, use the N-able N-central tracking to locate it. When tracking is enabled, the device reports its GPS location and reports to N-able N-central. You can then view the location of the device on a map.

1. Click Views > All Devices and click the Mobile Devices tab.
2. Select the check box next to the devices you want to locate and click Show Location.

An interactive map appears and displays the location of the selected mobile devices. Use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out.
