How about "find my iphone" and ping. The pinging lasts about a minute, so it gives you time to walk a bit before restarting it.

Unfortunately I now may have to go back to my 5S because when I went for a walk yesterday morning I lost my 6S. My wife and I are visiting my parents and my brother and his family who have a cattle ranch in northern British Columbia. I walked up the driveway which is about three quarters of a mile and of course there is snow here and it was -28 Celsius (approx. -18 Fahrenheit) and when I reached the end I wanted to check the time which is when I noticed my phone wasn't in my chest pocket any more. By the time I walked back (about 20 minutes) I called the phone with my Mom's phone and it already went straight to voice mail. I assume the phone didn't stay on long lying in the snow at these temperatures. Later on my sister in law, then my brother and 2 of my nephews walked the driveway and the phone has mysteriously disappeared. The snow isn't that deep and especially on the driveway it's compacted and there is no way somebody could have come by and picked it up because this way out in the boonies unless of course Santa came by with his reindeer and thought a new iPhone 6S is just what he needs *smile*. Anyhow, we are going to town today (that's a 2-hour drive) and we'll pick up a metal detector and then tomorrow we'll walk it again with that and see what we can find. If not then I guess they may find it in the spring when the snow is gone. Good thing I haven't sold my 5s yet, just have to get a new SIM when I get home. I'd just like to find the 6S whether it still works or not because I do have Apple care and I can pay whatever the fee is now and get a replacement should it not survive the 2 days in the cold. I think, however, once we find it it will probably work fine once it thaws out. So much for my iPhone story of the year!

When I activate 3d touch for the messages app, I don't get the option to message, say, the last two or three people I messaged. Instead, I get perhaps one person I messaged a day or so ago, and then two people I haven't messaged in quite a while, and who are not at all among my most recent messages. Also, when I activate 3d touch for the phone app, I have the option of calling a contact that is somewhere in the middle of my favourites section, as well as the first two contacts in that section. There doesn't really appear to be any rhyme or reason as to how these contacts, both for phone and messages, are selected. is there any way to control this so that activating 3d touch will allow me to either choose which contacts are presented as choices, or have some pattern for determining which contacts it'll select?
