Sorry to hear that you have lost your iPhone. Apple is not going to track your lost/stolen iPhone for you. Apple is not in the lost / found business. Please see options below:


To locate your iPhone in the Find My [Device] app, you must have activated the Find My app BEFORE the iPhone was lost. Here is some information on that app ➔ If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support.


Note that your lost iPhone must be able to make the connection to the internet via Wi-Fi or cellular connection so that it can mark its location and broadcast it.
