Phone Buddy Phone Lost Alert

Phone Buddy alerts a compatible Apple Watch or iPhone when the devices lose their Bluetooth connection.

Our take

Consider it if you frequently leave one device behind and want a separation alert.

Signal strength and sound playback give you ways to look for a nearby misplaced device.

Keep in mind: It depends on connection and alert settings. It is not a GPS tracking or theft recovery service.

What you can do

  • Set phone or Watch separation alerts
  • Check nearby signal strength
  • Play a sound on a compatible device

Good for

  • People who regularly carry both an iPhone and Apple Watch

Consider alternatives for

  • Anyone looking for long-distance tracking after a device is gone

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 18.1.
  • It depends on connection and alert settings. It is not a GPS tracking or theft recovery service.

Privacy & permissions

Bluetooth connection status drives the alerts. The listing does not establish location tracking or other collection.
