Ben Zhang said on X on August 4, 2026, that he lost his phone at the office and spent 30 minutes searching the workplace. Apple's Find My was disabled by MDM (workplace device management), so Zhang asked Claude for another way to locate the phone.

Claude suggested tracking Bluetooth signal strength and then wrote a meter for Zhang in about a minute, according to the post. A Hacker News thread linked to the X post recorded a score of 62 and 48 comments, centered on the phone-finding method and Claude's quick code generation.
