How do I recover this stolen device since location isn’t showing for me to track the phone?

I’m yet to recover my stolen IPhone but your helpline isn’t helping anything to help find my device. I always thought IPhone can be located when you misplaced it or when it’s stolen but neither of both was done since May till date I can’t find my iPhone

You can only track with FindMy/iCloud. There are no other options to track a device. Using a serial number or IMEI would be moot as the device would then be powered and connected to a network.


You should just be ok with knowing the phone is lost for good. Apple would not be able to restore the phone for you. You can restore from your backup.
