‘Only possible in Japan’: Indian woman loses her iPhone 16 Pro for the 5th time; finds it untouched hours later
She explained that she frequently forgets her phone in public places because she does not constantly check or use it.
Pragati, an Indian woman living in Japan, has lost her iPhone 16 Pro five times, but successfully recovered it each time. She documented her midnight hunt to retrieve her lost phone once again on Instagram. Pragati realized her phone was missing hours after accidentally leaving it behind due to her habit of occasionally forgetting to use it.
She employed Apple's Find My feature on a secondary device to locate her iPhone, which was approximately 600 meters away. After setting off on her nightly search, Pragati managed to track her phone down via the Find My app. The app's tracking distance gradually reduced to 100 meters, leading Pragati to the exact spot where her iPhone 16 Pro was resting undisturbed.
She managed to retrieve her iPhone from a police station, a vegetable market, and twice from inside store trial rooms during her previous adventures.
