For sure, that message didn't come from Apple, since Apple can't get involved in a lost or stolen device.

Most likely, it was a scam/phishing attempt to get some of your personal info/credentials.

IGNORE those messages, DO NOT respond.

Not only would Apple not send you a message about your phone being located, they certainly would not send it using WhatsApp.


You fell for a phishing message and gave the thief who has your phone your icloud credentials when you used the link in the message to log in, allowing them to remove the activation lock.


You need to change your Apple ID password. NOW!
