Looking for a specific word or phrase within a sea of text can be daunting without the right tools. Thankfully, all Mac computers come equipped with a find function, which lets you locate exact terms in a document or web page. This tutorial will show you how to use control F on Mac and iPhones.

How to use Command F on iPhone?

On iPhones and iPads there is no dedicated Command F button, instead you will need to use the Share icon.

• Go to the Share icon
• Then scroll down to: Find on Page or Find in Page
• Enter the word that you want to look for, and tap Done. The word will then be highlighted on the webpage if it is there.
