Troubleshooting a Lost or Stolen iPhone:

What makes you so certain it was stolen? Perhaps it was lost?


Six tactics to try here...

  • Use Find MyNote that Find My, can only be enabled directly on the iPhone. It cannot be enabled elsewhere. So, if it is not enabled, then that is not an option. Note that it will show up in the latest location is was seen, when connected to  WiFi or a Cellular network.


  • Dial it: See if it is heard ring


  • Ask Local Authorities: See if it has be hanged over.


  • Text It: Ask whomever has come across it, to contact you.


  • Ask Someone: See if someone you know (i.e. Friend, or Family Member) if that came across it.


  • Backtrack your Locations: If you are at a Coffee shop, or a library, stop by and see if it was safely placed asside.

Sorry to hear of your theft.


Additionally:


IMPORTANT:


Apple will NOT contact you.


Any message purporting to be from Apple or any other “authority” and claiming to have found your phone but needing your credentials to “verify your ownership” is a scam.


It’s from the thieves attempting to break-into your phone and/or AppleID.


Do NOT click on any links.


Do NOT provide any personal info, AppleID, passwords, or passcodes.


These messages may be received days, weeks, or even months from now.
