Lost my iphone whilst walking to a store and back to my car i was working on. apparently you can't find its last known location from merely "FindMy" on icloud because you need to have installed the app beforehand on the device in question. same with GoogleMaps. need to have installed the app.

Is there anyway to locate it digitally? phones are always connected to the internet, and thus, cellular towers. how the hell can there not be any way to find out where it last connected to the internet?
