Displaying custom message on locked screen

Is there anyway I can display a custom message on the locked screen of my iPhone 7. or iPad Pro. Something to let others know how to contact me if the phone is found? I can do this on my MacBook Pro.

iPad Pro 10.5-inch, Wi-Fi, Cellular

Hi CXI,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. I understand you'd like to create a custom message for a lost iOS device. I'll be happy to help.


You have the ability to enter a customer message when an iOS device is lost or stolen. There are requirements in place in order to have this option. Here's a helpful article with additional details: Locate a lost or stolen device


Best regards.
