Step 1: Download and Set Up the Eufy Security App
The first step in adding your Eufy tracker to Find My is setting up the Eufy Security app. This app acts as a bridge between your tracker and Apple’s ecosystem.

Download the App
Open the App Store on your iPhone and search for “Eufy Security.” Download and install the official app by EufySecurity. Make sure it’s the correct one—look for the developer name “Eufy Security” and the blue-and-white icon.
Create or Sign In to Your Eufy Account
Once installed, open the app. If you’re new to Eufy, tap “Create Account” and follow the prompts to set up your profile using your email address. If you already have an account, simply sign in.
Grant Necessary Permissions
The app will ask for permission to access Bluetooth and your location. Tap “Allow” when prompted. These permissions are essential for pairing your tracker and enabling Find My integration.
Add Your Eufy Device
Tap the “+” icon in the top-right corner of the app and select “Add Device.” Choose your specific Eufy tracker model from the list (e.g., SmartTrack Link). Follow the on-screen instructions to put your tracker into pairing mode—usually by pressing and holding the button for 3–5 seconds until the LED blinks.
Once detected, the app will guide you through naming your tracker (like “My Keys” or “Backpack”) and confirming the connection. At this point, your tracker is paired with the Eufy app—but not yet with Find My.
Step 2: Enable Find My Integration in the Eufy App
Now comes the crucial step: linking your Eufy tracker to Apple’s Find My network. This allows your tracker to be found by any Apple device, even when it’s out of Bluetooth range.
Navigate to Device Settings
In the Eufy Security app, go to the “Devices” tab and select your newly added tracker. Tap the gear icon (settings) in the top-right corner.
Find the “Find My” Option
Scroll down until you see the “Find My” section. You should see a toggle switch labeled “Enable Find My.” Tap it to turn it on.
Confirm with Apple ID
The app will prompt you to confirm your Apple ID and password. This is a security measure to ensure only you can add devices to your Find My network. Enter your credentials and tap “Confirm.”
Wait for Sync
The app will now communicate with Apple’s servers to register your tracker. This may take 30–60 seconds. Once complete, you’ll see a confirmation message: “Find My is now enabled.”
Congratulations! Your Eufy tracker is now part of the Find My network. You can now track it using Apple’s Find My app.
Step 3: Verify the Tracker in the Find My App
Let’s make sure everything is working correctly by checking the Find My app.
Open the Find My App
On your iPhone, open the pre-installed “Find My” app (it has a green radar-like icon). If you can’t find it, swipe down from the top-right corner to open Spotlight Search and type “Find My.”
Go to the “Items” Tab
At the bottom of the screen, tap the “Items” tab. This is where all your Find My-compatible accessories—like AirTags, Eufy trackers, and Chipolo cards—will appear.
Look for Your Eufy Tracker
Your Eufy tracker should now appear in the list. It will display the name you gave it in the Eufy app (e.g., “My Keys”). Tap on it to see its current location on the map.
Test the Features
Try the following to confirm everything is working:
- Play a Sound – Tap “Play Sound” to make your tracker emit a loud beep. This is helpful when it’s nearby but hidden under cushions or in a bag.
- Get Directions – Tap “Directions” to open Apple Maps and get turn-by-turn guidance to your tracker’s last known location.
- Enable Lost Mode – Tap “Lost Mode” to lock your tracker and display a custom message (like your phone number) if someone finds it and taps it with their iPhone.
If all these features work, your Eufy tracker is successfully integrated with Find My.
Tips for Optimal Performance
To get the most out of your Eufy tracker and Find My integration, keep these tips in mind:
Keep Your iPhone Updated
Apple frequently releases updates that improve Find My functionality and security. Go to Settings > General > Software Update regularly to ensure your iPhone is running the latest iOS version.
Charge Your Tracker Regularly
Most Eufy trackers last 6–12 months on a single charge, but usage affects battery life. If you use the “Play Sound” feature often or live in a cold climate, the battery may drain faster. Check the battery level in the Eufy app and replace it when needed (most use a CR2032 coin cell).
Attach It Securely
Use the included keyring, adhesive, or lanyard to attach your tracker firmly to your item. A loose tracker can fall off and get lost—defeating the purpose!
Name It Clearly
Give your tracker a descriptive name like “Car Keys” or “Work Backpack” so you can quickly identify it in the Find My app, especially if you have multiple trackers.
Use Precision Finding (If Available)
If your Eufy tracker supports Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology—like the SmartTrack Card—you can use Precision Finding on iPhone 11 and later. This feature uses AR arrows and distance indicators to guide you right to your item.
Share with Family Members
You can share access to your tracker with family members via Family Sharing. Go to Settings > [Your Name] > Family Sharing > Find My, and invite them. This way, everyone in your household can help locate lost items.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Even with the best setup, you might run into a few hiccups. Here’s how to fix the most common problems when adding your Eufy tracker to Find My.
Tracker Not Appearing in Find My
If your Eufy tracker doesn’t show up in the Find My app after setup:
- Make sure “Enable Find My” is toggled on in the Eufy app.
- Restart the Eufy Security app and the Find My app.
- Ensure your iPhone is connected to the internet (Wi-Fi or cellular).
- Check that your Apple ID is signed in and has Find My enabled (Settings > [Your Name] > Find My > Find My iPhone).
- Try removing and re-adding the tracker in the Eufy app.
Bluetooth Connection Fails
If your iPhone can’t detect the tracker during pairing:
- Move closer to the tracker (within 3 feet).
- Make sure the tracker is in pairing mode (LED blinking).
- Turn Bluetooth off and on in Settings > Bluetooth.
- Restart your iPhone.
- Reset the tracker by holding the button for 10+ seconds until it resets.
Find My Shows “No Location Found”
If your tracker appears in Find My but shows no location:
- The tracker may be out of range of any Apple devices.
- It could be powered off or have a dead battery.
- Try moving the tracker to a different location and wait a few minutes—sometimes it takes time to update.
- Use the “Play Sound” feature to locate it manually.
Lost Mode Not Working
If someone finds your tracker but can’t see your message:
- Ensure Lost Mode is properly enabled in the Find My app.
- Check that your custom message includes a phone number or email.
- Verify that the finder is using an iPhone with iOS 14.5 or later and has NFC enabled.
App Crashes or Freezes
If the Eufy Security app becomes unresponsive:
- Force close the app (swipe up from the bottom and hold, then swipe the app away).
- Reopen it and try again.
- Update the app from the App Store.
- Reinstall the app if problems persist.
Privacy and Security: Why Find My Is Safe
One of the biggest concerns with Bluetooth trackers is privacy. Apple has designed Find My with strong security in mind, and Eufy trackers benefit from this protection.
When you add your Eufy tracker to Find My, its location data is end-to-end encrypted. That means only you—and anyone you share it with—can see where it is. Apple and Eufy cannot access your location data.
Additionally, the Find My network is anonymous. When another Apple device detects your tracker, it doesn’t know who owns it or what it’s attached to. The system only relays encrypted location data back to you.
There’s also a built-in anti-stalking feature. If someone else’s tracker (like an AirTag) is moving with you and not paired to your device, your iPhone will send you an alert. This helps prevent unwanted tracking.
By using Find My, you get the convenience of global tracking without sacrificing your privacy.
Frequently Asked Questions About Eufy and Find My
Let’s address some common questions users have when integrating Eufy trackers with Find My.
Can I use Eufy trackers with Android phones?
No, Eufy trackers that support Find My integration are designed to work primarily with Apple devices. While you can use the Eufy Security app on Android, you won’t be able to add the tracker to Apple’s Find My network from an Android phone.
Do I need Wi-Fi to track my Eufy tracker?
No. The Find My network uses Bluetooth and crowdsourced location data from nearby Apple devices. As long as your tracker is within range of any Apple device (even someone else’s), its location can be updated—no Wi-Fi required.
Can I track my Eufy tracker if it’s turned off?
No. Like all Bluetooth trackers, your Eufy device must have battery power to transmit its location. Once the battery dies, it will stop sending signals until replaced.
How accurate is the location data?
Location accuracy depends on the density of Apple devices in your area. In cities, it’s usually within 10–30 feet. In rural areas, it may take longer to update or be less precise.
Can I use multiple Eufy trackers with Find My?
Yes! You can add as many Eufy trackers as you want to the Find My app. Just repeat the setup process for each one and give them unique names for easy identification.
What happens if I sell or give away my Eufy tracker?
Before transferring ownership, make sure to remove the tracker from your Eufy app and disable Find My integration. This prevents the new owner from accessing your location data or seeing your personal information.
Conclusion: Never Lose Your Essentials Again
Adding your Eufy tracker to Apple’s Find My app is a smart, secure, and simple way to keep track of your most important belongings. With just a few taps in the Eufy Security app, you unlock the power of a global tracking network that works even when your item is miles away.
This integration combines Eufy’s reliable hardware with Apple’s privacy-focused ecosystem, giving you peace of mind whether you’re at home, traveling, or just running errands. From keys and wallets to backpacks and luggage, your essentials are now easier to find than ever.
Follow the steps in this guide to set up your tracker, test its features, and troubleshoot any issues. With your Eufy tracker now part of Find My, you’re one step closer to a life with fewer lost items and more confidence.
So go ahead—attach that tracker, enable Find My, and enjoy the freedom of knowing your stuff is always within reach.
