4 ways to locate your misplaced iPhone using Apple Watch

Locate your missing iPhone using your Apple Watch

When your iPhone is buried under sheets, left in another room, or out of sight, the obvious thing to do to locate it is to call your iPhone using another phone. However, this may not be helpful if your iPhone is in silent mode, Do Not Disturb, or has an active Focus mode.
