What is the Reverse Lookup?
The reverse search is basically a way to do the same things you’d normally do to find someone’s (or car keys, or house keys, or passport, etc), but in reverse phone lookup.
First, we need to get the phone or other item that’s been lost, or that was lost and you’ve been looking for it. That could be as easy as getting the phone number from your last purchase or receipt at a coffee shop. It can also be a little more complex, like an airline locator page, a phone bill or other email.
If we wanted to find a lost phone, or device, we would simply plug it in, let it go for a minute or so, and then plug it back in. The phone should “wake up” with its power off, and you should be able to see the last contact we had on it with a number (name, or email), as well as its IP address.
How Does The Reverse Lookup Work?
Always press the power button when the phone is off and on, and if you find the contact saved in the SOS option on the phone, there is a chance that the person could be near your phone.

How Does The Reverse Lookup Work?
Another way is by just pressing the reverse search button on the lockscreen. You need to make sure that the contact with whom you want to track is on the local list of the person’s contacts, and then press the button.
Hope this helps!
